Justice Robert Benham (J.D.'70), the longest serving and first African American member of the Supreme Court of Georgia, will present UGA's 2020 Holmes-Hunter Lecture Feb. 3 at 2 p.m. in the Chapel.

Named in honor of Charlayne Hunter-Gault and Hamilton Holmes, the first African American students to attend UGA, the lecture is sponsored by the Office of the President and focuses on race relations, civil rights and education. It has been held annually since 1985.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or "CARES Act," signed into law on March 27, 2020, provides for $349 billion in Small Business Administration (SBA) loan guarantees and subsidies, and additional funding for SBA programs. One new SBA program created by the CARES Act is the Paycheck Protection Program (the "PPP"). The PPP has the potential to provide significant relief for small businesses, but that relief requires application to the program.

The Federalist Society will be hosting The Honorable Stephen Dillard of the Court of Appeals of Georgia on September 9th at 12:00pm-12:50pm. All students and faculty are welcome to attend the Zoom meeting and learn about Judge Dillard's perspective on the role of a judge, in addition to his own experience as a valued member of the judiciary.

We are excited to join ACS student and lawyer chapters across Georgia for a panel that will examine barriers to registering to vote, navigating acceptance of ballots, and structural issues that prevent votes from translating into representation. The panelists will conclude with a discussion of on-going legal and advocacy efforts to secure the right to vote.
