Marietta Square hosts numerous events including food and music festivals. For instance, in spring delight your taste buds at Taste of Marietta. You’ll hear great music, too.

Cases handled in Marietta City Court
Marietta has a lot of things, but not its own jail. So, after booking, arrestees typically go to jail in Smyrna or the Cobb County Adult Detention Center. The court in Marietta handles all city ordinances and state misdemeanor violations. Judge Lawrence Burke is judge. Ben Smith, Jr. is the solicitor (a.k.a. prosecutor). Numerous other state solicitors and criminal defense attorneys serve as associate judges and assistant solicitors in court.
Shoplifting items $500 or less in value, and possessing a misdemeanor amount of marijuana can be handled in the city court by plea or non-jury trial (a.k.a. bench of judge trial). Serious traffic misdemeanors, like Driving Under the Influence (DUI) may be resolved, too. But, if one wants a jury trial on a state misdemeanor violation, like the other city courts in Cobb County, your case will be bound up to Cobb State Court off Marietta Square.
