Join us October 22 for trivia night! International Law Society will be hosting a virtual trivia night for members and non-mebers alike to come hang out, have some fun, and win some prizes. Grab a couple pals to form a team and zoom in for the chance to prove you really are smarter than all your classmates! Once you have your team, email Paige Medley (pmedley@uga.edu) to get signed up. Hope to see you there!
William Elliott Stiles Jr. - an accomplished artist, Atlanta attorney and University of Georgia School of Law alumnus - will unveil a new work of art that was commissioned by the law school to commemorate the 60th anniversary of desegregation at UGA. The new creation will be displayed alongside other pieces of Stiles' "Concept Collection" that were donated to the school in 2018.
Stiles said in his new piece, titled "1961," he tried to depict the historic events of the desegregation of the University of Georgia and the Georgia public school system.
Professor Butler researches and teaches in the areas of criminal law, race relations law, and critical theory. He is the author of the widely reviewed "Let's Get Free: A Hip-Hop Theory of Justice," which received the Harry Chapin Media award.
Come hear Spencer Frye, our Athens representative in the Georgia House, discuss the current legislative session and future of politics in Georgia. Lunch will be served.
Alumna Tess Davis (J.D.'09), the Executive Director of The Antiquities Coalition, will be our guest.
Please join UGA Law's ACS Chapter and the ACS Athens Lawyer Chapter for a state-specific training for ACS members that covers the history of voter suppression, what voter suppression looks like today, and how ACS members can fight for voting rights with advocacy tactics to ensure greater access to voting in the time of COVID-19 and racial injustice. The training will be provided by All Voting is Local's GA Campaign Manager (and triple Dawg!), Stephanie Jackson Ali.
