DeKalb County has officially changed the name of its judicial circuit as of January 1, 2025. The circuit, previously known as the "Stone Mountain Judicial Circuit," is now called the "DeKalb Judicial Circuit." This change was approved by the Georgia General Assembly in spring 2024.
District Attorney Sherry Boston has reminded citizens that while this update will be reflected in future court filings, it does not affect the status or validity of any pending cases within the circuit.
