Prosecuting Attorneys' Council of Georgia

What Prosecuting Attorneys' Council of Georgia does

The Prosecuting Attorneys' Council of Georgia (PACGA) is an agency of the Judicial Branch of Georgia state government, established in 1975 and headquartered in Morrow, Georgia. It operates as a nine-member non-partisan body of elected District Attorneys and Solicitors-General, supported by an executive office led by Executive Director Peter J. Skandalakis. Its mandate is to coordinate, train, and provide administrative infrastructure for Georgia's prosecution community across all 51 judicial circuits, 159 counties, and over 500 municipalities.

PACGA's core service lines are training and professional development (over 180 training events annually, including Basic Litigation Boot Camp, Gang Cases training, DUI/Lethal Weapon, Family Violence, and Elder Abuse programming), legal research and publications (weekly CaseLaw Update since 2016, Grand Jury Handbook, FYI Newsletter), administrative services (employment listings, payroll, budgeting, asset management for member offices), victim assistance coordination, and statewide substitute-counsel appointments in conflict-of-interest cases. Its technology footprint consists of the pacga.org portal, a custom Tracker application (tracker4.pacga.org) for member case management, the Find Your Prosecutor directory, a digitized Asset Forfeiture Reporting System hosted at georgiaassetforfeiture.org, and standard Office 365 and Lexis Advance integrations; there is no disclosed AI/ML capability.

The revenue model is not commercial. PACGA is funded through Georgia state budget appropriations and provides services to District Attorney and Solicitor-General offices at no direct cost; pricing is therefore not applicable. The agency is governed by elected prosecutors, has no equity holders, and is not a candidate for traditional PE/VC investment; any 'expansion' occurs through additional statutory mandates (such as the 2022 centralization of conflict-of-interest appointments) rather than market-driven growth.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• National District Attorneys Association: National membership and training organization for U.S. prosecutors that performs the same core training, professional development, and resource-distribution function for district attorneys that PACGA performs for Georgia's 51 circuits; PACGA explicitly partners with NDAA for additional training and wellness resources.
• Florida Prosecuting Attorneys Association: State-level organization supporting Florida's state attorneys with training, continuing legal education, and resource coordination, fulfilling a nearly identical role to PACGA within Florida's judicial circuits.
• Texas District and County Attorneys Association: Statewide association providing training, legal publications, and administrative support to Texas prosecutors, structurally analogous to PACGA's role for Georgia's district and county prosecutors, and a clear like-for-like comparator at the state level.
• California District Attorneys Association: Statewide association offering training, legal research, and legislative advocacy for California's elected prosecutors; comparable to PACGA in scale and in serving as the central administrative/training hub for an entire state's prosecution community.

Broad incumbents

• National Association of Attorneys General: National bipartisan association of state attorneys general that operates broadly across all 50 states in training, policy, and legal-resource provision. It overlaps with PACGA on the prosecution-support and training dimension but addresses a much larger and broader constituency.
