The Judicial Council of Georgia was created in 1945 and serves as the policymaking body for Georgia’s judiciary. The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) was created in 1973. As staff to the Judicial Council, the AOC provides subject-matter expertise on policy, court innovation, legislation, and court administration to all Georgia courts.

The Georgia General Assembly established the Board of Court Reporting (BCR), of the Judicial Council of Georgia, to license, create standard practices, discipline, and regulate court reporting in Georgia. The Board establishes and enforces standards that govern court reporters and provides a forum for exchanging ideas and educational services.

CCRs must create an account online through the Georgia Courts Registrar at GCR Login. Once your account is created, this is where all CEUs each year will be submitted. BCR requires submittal of CEUs within one month of attending a CEU training/class.
GCRA offers an annual seminar online where, at minimum, 10 CEUs approved by BCR can be obtained. Once you are registered for GCRA’s seminar, classes/trainings can be taken during the official 2-day seminar, or for two weeks after the scheduled seminar all sessions will be available online for registrants to complete. Two weeks post-seminar, all attendees will be sent the appropriate certificate to upload onto their Georgia Courts Registrar account to obtain CEU credit.
