Paulding County Court of Common Pleas Bail Bonds & Bond Information

After arraignment at Paulding County Court of Common Pleas

The Paulding County Court of Common Pleas, located at 115 North Williams Street in Paulding, is the county's trial court of general jurisdiction and handles felony criminal cases along with civil and domestic relations matters. Felony cases proceed from grand jury indictment through arraignment, pretrials, motions, jury or non-jury trials, sentencing, and probation violations. At arraignment, the defendant is formally advised of the charges, enters a plea, and the judge addresses bond and conditions of release for felony offenses. Felonies are classified by degree (first through fifth), with first-degree felonies the most serious; bond is set considering offense severity, flight risk, and public safety. The Paulding County Prosecutor's Office prosecutes felonies in this court, while misdemeanor and traffic offenses are handled in the separate Paulding County (Municipal) Court. The Clerk of Courts (Room 104) maintains case records; a public terminal is available at the courthouse.
