The Georgia House Judiciary Committee had advanced a bill that would shield personal information of state judges.

The bill comes in response to ongoing threats to the judiciary across the United States. Keeping judicial addresses and phone numbers confidential is a small way to prevent harassment by dissatisfied litigants or others.
