Biography

The Hon. Karen E. Beyers is a judge for the Gwinnett County Superior Court in Georgia. Beyers was elected to the bench on November 4, 2008, and re-elected in 2012, 2016, and 2020. She will retire at the conclusion of her term in 2024.


Beyers has presided over the Mental Health Court Division in Gwinnett County.
