Submitted information:
State Court of Cobb County Judge Jane P. Manning notified Governor Brian Kemp that she will be resigning January 1, 2027.
Manning was elected to the Cobb State Court in May 2016 and took office in January 2017. This year marks the 40th anniversary of her admission into the State Bar of Georgia, a milestone that reflects her distinguished career in law.
Before her role as judge, she served as an assistant solicitor general with the Cobb County Solicitor General’s Office for 15 years, demonstrating a long-standing commitment to the county. Manning earned both her undergraduate and law degrees from Emory University. In May 2023, she furthered her legal education by earning a Master of Judicial Studies.
“Serving the people of Cobb County has been one of the greatest honors of my career,” said Manning. “I have cherished every moment on the bench and hope I have made a difference in our profession and our community.”
The governor has been asked to formally accept the resignation and will appoint a replacement to fill the remainder of Manning’s unexpired term. Following her resignation, she intends to enter the private practice of law.
