Georgia Code Title 15. Courts § 15-6-22

(a) The judge may, during a term of court, adjourn the court to such time as he may think fit.

(b) In case of unavoidable accidents, whereby the superior court in any county is not held at the time appointed for holding the same, the clerk of court shall adjourn the court from day to day, not exceeding two days. Unless the presiding judge orders to the contrary within the two days, the clerk shall then adjourn the court to the next term.

(c) When the clerk of the superior court is informed by the presiding judge that it is not possible for the judge to attend the regular term of the court, from sickness of himself or his family or other unavoidable cause which shall be expressed in the order of adjournment, and the judge for proper reasons in his discretion does not procure another judge to preside in his absence, the clerk shall adjourn the court to such time as the judge may direct and shall advertise the same at the courthouse of the county in which the court is to be held and one or more times in a public newspaper.
