Sounds like a damn good idea. If any help is needed by these folks, I hope they won't hesitate to ask the student community for support. I know people who have gotten noise violations when they believe they were not being anywhere near the max noise level, but are afraid to take it to courts because that would be even more expensive than paying the ticket.
It's a lose-lose situation when given a noise citation. Police should at least be forced to consider carefully who they give noise citations to

First of all the case is NOT sent to the State Supreme Court its sent to the State Court of Appeals and they decide if they even want to hear it. There is already tons of case law on noise ordinance laws in Georgia and these 2 students are going to loose.
Ive lived in Athens for 4 years now and when I have to listen to screaming, load music, and fights at 4am on a Tuesday there needs to be an ordinance. The police are very fair about enforcing this ordinance even to the point of measuring out the 100 feet and having another officer come and be a witness to the violation. I hope they loose big time. Everyone who is cited in Athens-Clarke can go to hell, you are the jackasses who have to party all night every night while some of us want to sleep. I can understand the weekends but there are some places I have lived where people were drinking literally 5 nights a week till the sun came up.

Ummm, maybe its just me but if they haven't been cited under the noise ordinance they probably don't have standing to even sue. The court won't even hear their argument.
