New court dates for Cordele Circuit

The law resets the superior court schedule in the Cordele Judicial Circuit. It sets exact court terms by county and month. Ben Hill, Crisp, Dooly, and Wilcox Counties hold terms on listed Mondays (for example, second and third Mondays in January for Ben Hill). Some terms also include the Monday after January 1 and July 1, where stated. Use the new dates to plan hearings, trials, and filings. Any older Georgia laws that conflict with these dates are repealed, so this schedule controls.
