Covington County, judge of probate authorized to exercise equity jurisdiction under certain conditions, Constitutional Amendment

Summary

The amendment permits the Covington County judge of probate to exercise equity jurisdiction alongside the circuit court for cases first filed in the probate court, provided the judge is a licensed Alabama attorney. Those cases are treated as if filed in circuit court and follow the Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure. Voter approval in a future election is required for the change to take effect.
