Congratulations to Associate Director of Student Services and First Start Coordinator Amanda Fox, who was selected for the 2024 Emma Terrell Distinguished Employee Award. Presented annually by the Law School Staff Representative Group, the award recognizes “individuals who have demonstrated a strong work ethic, commitment to service, and exceptional job performance as well as the cooperation needed to ensure the School of Law meets and exceeds its goals.”
A group of alumnae recently joined forces to endow a fund in support of the Georgia Association of Women Lawyers chapter at the University of Georgia School of Law. It will assist the organization formerly known as the Women Law Students Association with programming and activities for its members and the greater law school community.
The University of Georgia School of Law has been fortunate to have many professors who remain vital and engaged members of our faculty for decades, according to School of Law Dean Peter B. "Bo" Rutledge. "These professors provide the foundation for the learning environment that makes our intellectual community so special," he said. In a few weeks, Mike Wells, the Carter Chair in Tort and Insurance Law, will retire after more than 45 years of dedicated service. To help commemorate this milestone, a few former students have chosen to honor him by endowing a new faculty support fund.
Congratulations to third-year students Mona E. Abboud, Taylor L. Stablein and Casey E. Wofford who won the National Moot Court Competition regional tournament held this past weekend in Atlanta. The trio was undefeated throughout the contest and captured the Best Brief Award in addition to Abboud being named the Best Oralist for the final round and Wofford being named Best Oralist of the preliminary round. They will represent UGA at the national tier of this tournament in New York City during January.
The School of Law regrets to announce former employee Nancy Carol Ramsey passed away October 20, 2024.

She will be missed by law school faculty, staff and former students.
