For the reasons set forth below, we conclude as a matter of law that the Appellees action ex contractu was not barred by sovereign immunity and reject the State's arguments that (1) as a matter of general principles of contract, e-mails cannot create a written contract sufficient to waive sovereign immunity; (2) the Georgia Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (GUETA), see OCGA 10-12-1 et seq., does not apply to the Agreement; (3) the Agreement did not include a written signature; (4) the Agreement failed to specify parties who are able to contract because Burton did not have the authority to contract on behalf of the Attorney General's office and the Federal Defender was not a party to the Agreement; (5) the Agreement is not supported by adequate consideration; and (6) the terms of the Agreement are too vague to be enforceable.

Sessions will include investigating and pleading claims, and habeas case updates from the circuits. The ABA has adopted this position.

This exchange shows that, in return for the Attorney General's promise to pursue execution orders for the inmates covered by the Agreement only under the Agreement's terms, the Federal Defender relinquished its right to continue to seek a formal MOU with the Attorney General or to pursue with the GACDL's help other, perhaps-more-favorable means of resolution through the Task Force, such as legislation.
