Barrow County State Court

Judge Robert Gardner just completed a 9 day Civil Jury Trial, possibly the longest in Barrow County history, that resulted in a 50-50 verdict. We truly appreciate all the hard work of our panel of jurors, court reporters, Debbie Seymour and Becky Pearrow, the 3 amazing Bailiffs, Terry Thrasher, Art Wesley and Steve Mutchler, Court Security (Sheriff’s Department), and the Clerk of Court, Janie Lewis Jones and her staff.

UPDATE: Barrow County offices to open at 10 a.m. Thursday

Due to the continued low temperatures and possibility of hazardous conditions early in the day, most Barrow County offices will open at 10 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 23. The Barrow County Senior Center will remain closed for the entire day.

The delayed opening includes Barrow County’s administrative offices, courts, animal shelter and facilities at Victor Lord Park.

The delay will allow for Barrow County work crews to properly treat building entrances, parking lots and other high traffic areas to ensure the safety of visitors and employees.

“Once again, I’d like to extend my deepest gratitude to the men and women of Barrow County Roads and Bridges, Fire Department, E-911 and Sheriff’s Office for their selfless work during this winter storm. On Tuesday evening alone, Barrow County responded to 391 calls for service,” said Srikanth Yamala, Barrow County Manager.

Unless otherwise noted, Barrow County is expected to resume normal operations Friday, Jan. 24.
