Current Students Events

Accuracy & Justice is a project to bring together exonerated death row survivors and criminal justice practitioners, including groups of law enforcement officers, prosecutors, judges, or other professionals, in facilitated workshops about the causes of wrongful convictions and potential strategies for enhancing conviction integrity and reducing wrongful convictions in the future. Please RSVP on Law Dawg Dash and join us on March 2, 2023, from 5-7 pm in Classroom A in Hirsch Hall for this incredible event. Light refreshments will be served at the conclusion of the program. 

The Federal Bar Association is proud to host the Honorable William M. Ray II from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. Before obtaining this position, Judge Ray served on the bench of the Georgia Court of Appeals for six years and the Superior Court in the Gwinnett Judicial Circuit for 10 years. He will be discussing a variety of topics, including judicial ethical rules, working relationships with litigators, and clerkships.

With interviews for internships, externships, and clerkships right around the corner, this training will focus on how you can use Lexis to gain an advantage in the interview process. We will cover how to research attorneys, firms, and relevant practice areas on Lexis as well as look at our job-search-microsite that has all the resources you'll need to knock an interview out of the park!

The Honorable Verda M. Colvin, a Georgia Supreme Court justice and UGA School of Law alumna, will present the 2023 Holmes-Hunter Lecture.
