This series explores different issues within that dynamic, featuring leading speakers from academia, civil society and government, who have made unique contributions to how information is shared, protected and regulated.

It’s that time again–Food Frenzy is back and UGA Law is in it to win it! Food Frenzy is a fundraising competition hosted by the Georgia Attorney General where law schools compete to see which can raise the most money for their local food bank. UGA Law raised more than $15,000 to fight hunger in our community last year, narrowly losing to Mercer Law. This year we're taking #1 back! We need everyone’s help to accomplish our goal, so here are some important things to note:
