The Cobb County Magistrate Court, one of the largest in Georgia, issues arrest warrents and holds hearing to determine probable cause in criminal cases. This court doesn't determine guilt or innocence, except in cases involving violations of county ordinances. This court often handles cases involving abandoned vehicles, bad checks, drugs, environmental issues, rent disputes, mediation and small claims. The court also conducts weddings at 6pm each weekday and at noon and 6pm on the weekend and county holidays. This court also has the distinction of being one of the few courts in the United States that operates for 24 hours a day. Judge Frank R. Cox serves as chief magistrate. Donna Tschappat is court administrator and Anne Urick Gordon is court clerk.
