§ 10-230. Practice of law in the state court; notice to be filed declining active service as judge.

The acceptance of an assignment by a judge emeritus to serve as an active judge shall in no way interfere with the right of the retired judge to practice law, except he may not practice law nor have a case pending in the State Court of Fulton County. If the judge emeritus of the court desires to practice law in the court, he must file with the clerk of said court a declaration and notice that he declines to act as an active judge of the court. A judge who files a declaration declining to act as an active judge of said court shall not thereafter be assigned to hear and try cases in said court. If a judge emeritus of said court should after filing such declaration decide to be available to serve as an active judge, as described in section 10-228 hereof, he shall, at least six months prior to serving as an active judge, have filed a certificate in which he shall certify that he desires to be available to serve as an active judge when called upon to do so and that he has no cases pending in said court. During any such time that a judge emeritus is eligible to serve as an active judge of said court, he shall not practice law in said court.
