# O.C.G.A. § 47-12-81. Practice of law during term of office as district attorney emeritus.

District attorneys emeritus are prohibited from practicing law in any cases against the State of Georgia in any of the courts of this state or of the United States.

## History

Ga. L. 1949, p. 780, § 5; Ga. L. 1983, p. 1805, § 1.

## Editor's Notes

Ga. L. 1990, p. 222, repealing this Code section, was not concurrently funded as required by § 47-20-50 and, therefore, did not become law and became repealed on July 1, 1990. See the state auditor’s report at Ga. L. 1990, p. CCCV.
