The judges of the state court of Cobb County, in transacting the business of said
court and in performing their duties and responsibilities, shall share, divide and
allocate the work and duties to be performed by each judge. In the event of disagreement
between said judges, the decision of a majority of the judges shall be controlling.
The judges of the state court of Cobb County shall have, and they are hereby clothed
with, full powers, authority and discretion to determine, from time to time and term
to term, the manner of calling the dockets and of fixing the calendars and order of
business in said court. They may assign the hearing of trials by jury for a term to
one of said judges and the hearing of all other matters not requiring a trial by a
jury to any other judge, and they may rotate such order of business at the next term.
Each of said judges may conduct trials by jury at the same time, or any of them may
hear business in chambers and motions at the same time within said court. They may
provide, in all respects, for holding the state court so as to facilitate the hearing
and determination of all business of said court pending at any time and ready for
trial or hearing. In all such matters relating to the manner of fixing, arranging
for and disposing of the business of said court, and making appointments as authorized
by law, where the judges of said court cannot agree, the opinion of the majority of
such judges shall control.
(b)
Any provision of this section to the contrary notwithstanding, there is hereby created
for the state court of Cobb County a docket of criminal cases, to be known as the
dead docket, to which cases shall be transferred at the discretion of the solicitor,
and which shall only be called at his pleasure. When a case is thus transferred, all
witnesses who may have been subpoenaed therein shall be released from further attendance
until resubpoenaed.
