The University of Georgia has been actively monitoring the development of a winter storm headed to our area. With the safety and security of our faculty, staff and students foremost in our minds, the University of Georgia Athens Campus will close and move to modified operations on Friday, January 10, 2025. All in-person classes, campus events and activities will be canceled throughout the day. Further updates will be sent as they become available.
As Usha R. Rodrigues begins her tenure as dean of the University of Georgia School of Law, she shares her vision for the future of the school that includes building on the strengths of our institution and exemplifying what a great national public law school can and should be.
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.
