The University of Georgia School of Law will host the 4th Annual Rural Healthcare Symposium, which will focus on resilience in rural healthcare - how Georgia's rural health organizations prepare for risk, disruption, continuity, sustained service and success. To be held Nov. 14 in the Larry Walker Room of Dean Rusk Hall on UGA's North Campus, the purpose of the symposium is to bring together various stakeholders - academic researchers, legislators, medical providers and community advocates - and have discussions focused on generating potential solutions to the current rural healthcare crisis.
Congratulations to third-year students Thomas H. Paris IV and Georgia L. Turner, who defeated a team from the University of Florida to win the annual Florida/Georgia-Hulsey/Gambrell Moot Court Competition in Jacksonville. The long-running tournament is traditionally held before the Georgia-Florida football game. Two law students from each school compete as lawyers in a mock appellate case, and the victors earn the right to keep the championship trophy at their law school for the year. The School of Law's win brings its record in the competition to 24-11-2.
The University of Georgia School of Law will host a discussion of the recently published book Mass Tort Deals: Backroom Bargaining in Multidistrict Litigation, which was written by Elizabeth Chamblee Burch, the holder of the law school's Fuller E. Callaway Chair. The discussion will be held Nov. 8 from 11:45 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in Classroom B of Hirsch Hall on UGA's North Campus. The event is free and open to the public.
The University of Georgia School of Law announces that for the sixth consecutive year, its graduates achieved the highest bar examination passage rate for first-time takers in the state of Georgia for the July sitting.

"Our primary focus at the School of Law has been - and remains - to provide our students with first-rate legal training so they can become future leaders of state and society."
After much thoughtful consideration, due to the predicted forecast of rain and cold temperatures, the 29th Annual School of Law Homecoming BBQ will be held inside the Law School (Hirsch Hall). This is the first time in our Homecoming BBQ history that we have had to make this call, and while it certainly shifts the layout, the fun surely remains. Please visit /events/51605 for more details.
