Smyrna, Georgia, in Cobb County, has about 57,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). Its court cases are filed in the Cobb County Superior Court and the State Court and Magistrate Court, and the file of each case, kept by the Clerk of Superior Court, is the public record of it. This guide says which court hears what, where to look a case up and who keeps the files.

The Kinds of Court Files
