Georgia Open Records Act Requests

Under the Georgia Open Records Act (“ORA”), public records from the Department of Juvenile Justice are available for inspection and copying unless they are specifically exempted from disclosure under the law. 

Where to send your request:

An ORA Request should be made directly to the DJJ Office of Legal Services (OLS).  Although a verbal request is acceptable, please submit your request in writing so that the Department can accurately respond and track your request.
