Earlier this month, Chief Magistrate Hannah Arnette attended Magistrate Court Day at the Georgia State Capitol alongside Associate Judge Heather Rush.

It was a valuable opportunity to connect with magistrates from across Georgia and stay informed on matters impacting our courts. Days like this help ensure that the Magistrate Court continues to serve the citizens of Upson County effectively and responsibly.

We are proud to represent Upson County and remain committed to serving our community with fairness and integrity.
