False. You don't need to pay to read the laws, but you do need to pay if you want to read a private groups annotations to the laws, which include things like judicial rulings. The annotations are a value add and not required to understand or practice law in GA. You can also access the judicial rulings and all other sources which the annotations are derived from for free, but you would need to put the work in yourself to compile that data.

- Retric 9y agoIt's not quite that clear cut. Georgia places unusual weight to these specific annotations so simply having access to the rulings will not result in the same exact output.
- rayiner 9y agoYes it’s very unusual. The official version is the annotated one, and the annotations have legal force.
- sliverstorm 9y agoSupposedly the annotated version is actually the official Georgia code.
- lobster_johnson 9y agoGeorgia is somewhat unique in that the annotations actually are part of the codified law. You absolutely do need the annotations to practice, because they are authoritative. So not "false" after all.
