What You Need to Know

  • Clayton County often ‘perceived to be one of the worst venues in Georgia by most defense lawyers,’ per counsel with McMickle, Kurey & Branch.
  • Cherokee County seen as ‘a traditionally conservative’ venue, per plaintiff counsel with Morse & Edwards.
  • However, wrongful-death trial outcomes returned by Clayton and Cherokee county jurors have challenged litigators’ perceptions of either venue.

For many trial attorneys, venue matters.

Throughout Georgia, some courts have earned reputations among lawyers as being “conservative” or “liberal” with regard to the verdicts their jurors return.
