Prior offices
Georgia 7th Superior Court District Conasauga Circuit


Jack Partain was a judge of the Conasauga Circuit of Georgia.[1] He retired in 2016.[2]

Career

Prior to becoming a superior court judge, Partain was the district attorney for the Conasauga Judicial Circuit.[3]

Approach to the law

Drug Court

Partain claimed to handle drug court "180 degrees" differently than other courts. He said he sees the abusers weekly, and must be a "judge, cheerleader, father figure, and coach" depending on what the drug user needs. He claims that criminal and civil courts are impartial, but a drug court judge is an advocate, and it must be so for the process to be successful.[4]

2012 election

Partain ran unopposed for re-election to the Conasauga Superior Court.[5] He was re-elected after receiving 99.4% of the vote in the July 31 election.[6]
