In counties with a population of 90,000 or greater, the judge of the probate court must, with one exception, be an attorney with the same qualifications as a superior court judge. The one exception is that a non-attorney judge of the probate court already serving when the county population reaches or exceeds 90,000 may continue to serve and may run for re-election; any other candidate must be an attorney and meet the requirements of Article 6. In Article 6 probate courts, all matters are tried before a licensed attorney judge, with the right to trial by jury, whenever applicable. Appeals from Article 6 probate courts are taken directly to the Court of Appeals of Georgia or the Supreme Court of Georgia in the same manner as are appeals from the superior courts.
