Legal Advocacy Program

Laws affecting cities are made year-round in the courts as well as in the General Assembly. GMA’s Legal Advocacy Program provides support and assistance to member municipalities in a limited number of cases where the outcome could have major significance to cities statewide. The Legal Advocacy Program has two components. The first is providing monetary assistance to a municipality for legal fees, court costs, and expenses directly related to litigation on a novel and important question of law, the favorable decision of which could provide a substantial benefit for a significant number of Georgia municipalities. The second is the filing of amicus curiae (“friend of the court”) briefs in state and federal appellate courts and, very rarely, in trial courts.
