Note: All forms

Alternatively, you may view the English versions of the forms by clicking on the name of the document in the paragraphs below.

The Affidavit of Indigence is the one shown in the Georgia Indigent Defense Council's "Guidelines the Operation of Local Indigent Defense Programs" and has been approved by the Supreme Court of Georgia.  It details a defendant's income and expenses, assets and liabilities.
The Introduction is an election to proceed without an interpreter, or alternatively a request by the the defendant that an interpreter by appointed to assist him or her.
The Answers file is a list of expected answers to questions posed in court.  The English translation of each answer is also shown to facilitate the court's understanding of the defendant's response.
The Waiver of Counsel and Entry of Plea forms were developed by the Southern Center for Human Rights for use in the settlement of the federal lawsuit against Sumter County.  The Waiver of Counsel form details the rights that a defendant will give up if he or she wishes to proceed without the assistance of an attorney.  The Entry of Plea form (originally created for use in DeKalb State Court) explains not only the rights given up by a defendant entering a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, but also forms the basis for the plea itself.
