Current Students Events

The American Psychological Association has found that mindfulness is especially effective for reducing stress, anxiety, and depression and that mindfulness can improve physical health. The Law Library offers a four-session mindfulness workshop to teach you the basics of this free, easy, and effective stress-relieving activity. Heather Simmons, the Law Library’s Associate Director for Instruction and Access Services, is a certified Koru Mindfulness Teacher and hosts our four-week workshop each semester.

The EJF Auction is designed to raise money for students seeking to pursue careers in public interest. The Auction is a fun event, open to all students and alum to come bid on the silent or live auction and help raise money for EJF scholarships.

This will be a panel discussion of law students who have been in war zones. The goal is to provide insight to our community that goes deeper than the news headlines. This will be a constructive dialogue and an opportunity to know a little bit more about our fellow students and the human side of war. This will not be a foreign policy debate but rather an opportunity to share experiences that might make events - particularly the events of the last several months - more real to students.

Hosted by the Middle Eastern Law Student Association and the UGA Law Veterans

The FBA invites students to come hear Judge Jones, a federal judge at the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, talk about the role of a federal judge. Judge Jones will talk for around 15 minutes. Then we will open it up to questions for the rest of the time!
