Under existing law, the circuit courts of this state have jurisdiction over equitable matters.
This bill would propose an amendment to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, which would allow the Judge of Probate of Walker County to exercise equity jurisdiction concurrent with that of the circuit court in cases originally filed in the Probate Court of Walker County if the judge of probate is a member of the Alabama State Bar.
