Juvenile Court Association of Georgia (J.C.A.G.) is an independent organization created to provide a united forum for all independent Juvenile Courts located throughout the state of Georgia. Independent Courts work in conjunction with the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice to provide services and probation supervision to our youth statewide. The Georgia Independent Juvenile Courts are Bibb, Carroll, Chatham, Clayton, Cobb, Columbia, Crawford, DeKalb, Dougherty, Floyd, Fulton, Glynn, Gordon, Gwinnett, Hall, Henry, Newton, Peach, Rockdale, Spalding, Troup, Upson, Walton, and Whitfield.

The Georgia Association of Independent Juvenile Courts was established November 1975. The first board meeting was called by Ed Crawford in Bibb County, Georgia. In 2004, the name was changed to Juvenile Court Association of Georgia.

We lost one of our members, Livingston “Terri” Jett, from the Clayton County Juvenile Court on 9/9/22. Terri was a member of JCAG from 2020 to 2022. Terri was a caring individual who would help anyone out. Our JCAG President, Charlatte, is asking that Court Reps send an email to their courts to see if anyone would like to donate to the family to help with any expenses. If any donations are collected, please contact Charlatte Smith at csmith@co.henry.ga.us. If you or members of your court would like to attend or show support, please see information below regarding visitation and a balloon release this week at Clayton County Juvenile Court.

The visitation for Terri will be held on Wednesday, September 21, 2022, from 4:00 pm–8:00 pm at Rucker Shelton Funeral Directors, 2199 Candler Road, Decatur, GA 30032. There will not be a formal funeral.

The Clayton County Juvenile Court balloon release for Terri’s family and the court will be this Friday, September 23, 2022 at 3:00 pm in the front parking lot located at 9163 Tara Blvd, Jonesboro, GA 30236.

Please keep Terri and her family in your thoughts as they navigate through this difficult time.
