Governor Zell Miller's legislative package for that year included a bill to increase the number of judges on the Court of Appeals by four, bringing the number to thirteen.  The Governor's plan was for the Court to serve in four divisions of three judges each and the Chief Judge to function as an administrative head of the Court and to assist each division.  While the Governor was not successful in creating four additional judgeships for the Court, the Legislature did pass Senate Bill 750, which added a tenth judge.

Legislation also changed the process by which cases would be decided in the event of a dissent.  Before the 1996 amendment (1996 Ga. Laws, p. 405), cases in which there was a dissent in one division were decided by the whole court.  Now, cases involving a dissent are determined by seven judges, including the assigned division, the next division in succession and a seventh judge.

Eldridge is appointed as 10th Judge

Further, legislative efforts to increase the number of judges on the Court of Appeals of Georgia fell short in both 1997 and 1998.
