Supports. The Atlanta Jewish Times reports a 19-person legal delegation, including Georgia Supreme Court justices, took a weeklong trip to Israel beginning November 16, 2025.[2]
Supports. A September 4, 2026 account cited by Sherafy describes a 13-person delegation including Georgia judges organized and funded by Israel's consulate, indicating further state-judge trips.[3]
Context. A Wruble summary of a post says Judge Roy Altman's Judicial Education Missions to Israel have plans to expand to state justices, consistent with state-justice participation.[4]
Context. The primary and federal-judge sources cover trips by U.S. federal judges, not state supreme court justices, so they neither confirm nor refute the state-justice claim.[1]
