Re-Elect Jay M. Roth
Fulton County State Court Judge
“Experience, Trust, and Fairness That You Can Count On.”
For over 25 years, Judge Jay M. Roth has served as a judge in Fulton County – Georgia’s busiest court system. He has done so with a central and unwavering commitment:
EQUAL JUSTICE FOR EVERY PERSON WHO WALKS INTO HIS COURTROOM.
As a Fulton County State Court Judge, Judge Roth has presided over thousands of cases from DUI and other serious traffic offenses (e.g., hit & run, aggressive driving, reckless driving, reckless stunt racing) to domestic violence battery crimes and misdemeanor theft charges. Beyond criminal cases, he has presided over contract disputes and had well over 1000 auto accident personal injury cases assigned to his court. In addition, many complex medical malpractice litigation cases have been adjudicated in his court.
This breadth of experience means that Judge Roth has “been there done that.” From his twenty-five years as a Fulton County Judge, he understands the real-world impact the court system has on everyday people and local businesses alike.
His Judicial Record Speaks for Itself
• Impartial. Judge Roth decides every case based on the facts and the law — and is never based on politics, his personal feelings or opinion, or any type of outside influence.
• Efficient. He is committed to moving cases on his calendar forward without unnecessary delays, saving taxpayers time and money.
• Fair. Whether an individual is facing a misdemeanor traffic citation or a multi-billion-dollar corporation in a civil law dispute, everyone receives the same careful, unbiased attention and respect in his courtroom.
• Experienced. His experience over a quarter-century of judicial duty as a Judge in multiple Fulton County courts has given Judge Roth the knowledge and temperament that Georgia’s justice system demands. In fact, before he became a Judge, he was a judicial law clerk for the late Charles Carnes, the former Chief Judge of Fulton County State Court. Prior to that stint with Judge Carnes, he served in the Fulton County Solicitor’s Office as both an investigator and later as an assistant prosecutor. This period of service in government work covers over four decades in serving Fulton County voters.
Why Judge Roth’s Four Decades of Experience Matter
The judges you elect don’t just interpret the law — they shape how justice works in your community. Judge Roth believes that every person deserves to be heard, that every case deserves thorough consideration, and that the courtroom should be a place where truth prevails.
He has never taken your trust for granted, and he never will. This dedication to purpose is the type of hard-earned experience you want when you are appearing before any Judge overseeing your criminal or civil case.
