Law graduates Keith W. and Frederick W. “Fritz” Vaughan have made a gift supporting the work of the University of Georgia School of Law, and the Georgia Law Review will now operate out of an office bearing their names. Notably, Keith and Fritz are the only father-son duo to both serve as editor-in-chief of the Georgia Law Review. The School of Law is grateful to Keith and Fritz for investing in the School of Law and honoring their time as leaders of the Georgia Law Review.
