2023-2024 UGA Law Viewbook

The School of Law is located on UGA’s historic North Campus, a short walk from downtown Athens.

We strive daily to redefine what it means to be a great national public law school.

Peter B. “Bo” Rutledge Dean & Talmadge Chair of Law

A MESSAGE FROM OUR DEAN

Thank you for your interest in the University of Georgia School of Law.

As one of the nation’s best returns on investment in legal education, we strive daily to redefine what it means to be a great national public law school – offering a world-class, hands-on, purpose-driven educational experience with an unflinching commitment to accessibility and affordability.

What does this mean for you?

• It means the opportunity to participate in 18 clinical and experiential learning programs designed to equip you with the skills demanded by today’s legal employers.

• It means learning from professors, judges, corporate executives and government officials working – and teaching – at the cutting edge of their fields.

• It means joining a law school that posted the highest employment rate of any law school in 2021, with another excellent year in 2022 for full-time, long-term jobs requiring bar passage or benefiting from a J.D.

• It means that 100% of our first-generation college graduates and veterans receive financial assistance.

• It means that student debt has dropped roughly 50% over the last nine years.

• In short, it means a laser focus on helping you obtain a job, pass the bar and minimize debt. .

As the first law school in history to achieve the distinction of “Best Value Law School” for three consecutive years, and the law school with the lowest tuition that is ranked in the top 20 nationally, we commit to you that when you graduate, you can make your professional choices based upon your passions, not your wallet. Whether working in a law firm, clerkship, government or public interest position, your degree will translate across professions and state lines.

Prepare: Rigorous training - in the classroom and courtroom - prepares you for the demands of legal practice. During the last academic year, law students argued before four different federal appellate courts and secured several victories. Our award-winning advocacy team once again won multiple national tournaments, including a historic back-to-back win of the Top Gun National Mock Trial Competition, while students in our clinics helped represent live clients – whether to secure a protective order, to obtain a remedy for abuse survivors or to secure U.S. citizenship.

Connect: We are a community of authentic support. This means viewing your education not as a transaction but as a financial and emotional investment. We take that charge seriously. That’s why we’ve invested so heavily in our mentorship program, which can match you with a four-person mentorship team, including an alumnus/alumna or legal practitioner based upon your

background and interests. Mentors stay in touch with their mentees throughout the academic year, offering advice on matters like course selection and job searches. Our ironclad commitment to connect you with people who will make a difference in your professional life extends beyond the mentorship program. First-generation college graduates will find community in our First-Generation Students Association, and veterans will benefit from the Butler Commitment. For those interested in work out of state, the Corsair Law Society provides an invaluable platform for building your networks. For those seeking government, judicial or public interest work, due to the generous support of our graduates and friends, the School of Law offers an array of stipends and grants, awarding almost $1.3 Million over the last 5 years.

Lead: We are a community of leaders. Current and former government officials - from judges to deputy attorneys general - are a regular part of academic life at UGA and serve in various capacities like Jurists in Residence or guest lecturers. During the last academic year, 23 judges taught in our classrooms, delivered lectures and judged moot courts. It is not unusual to find yourself in a roundtable discussion with those who have been on the front lines in the legal community – training you how to lead. That commitment translates into outcomes. Almost 30 members of the Class of 2022 served as judicial clerks to judges. These clerkships are important training opportunities for future legal leaders.

These are just a few ways our law school community strives to be the nation’s best return on investment in legal education and works tirelessly to provide a polestar for redefining what it means to be a great national law school. We invite you to learn more about our law school in the pages that follow, through a virtual tour on our website, a scan of our social media or a campus visit.

Sincerely,

Peter B. “Bo” Rutledge Dean & Talmadge Chair of Law www.law.uga.edu/profile/peter-b-bo-rutledge

While some law schools emphasize either faculty scholarship or teaching, the University of Georgia School of Law faculty balances the two, firmly believing that scholarly expertise enhances classroom teaching.

The varied and impressive backgrounds of our faculty members bolster our dynamic community of learning and strengthen our curriculum. Professors maintain an open-door policy; they are available to answer students’ questions about academic matters, offer career advice and guidance, and serve as mentors. Here you will find faculty who care about you, who take time to get to know you, and who go the extra mile for you. The University of Georgia School of Law is a national law school with a personal touch.

Our Faculty Includes:

• Former judicial clerks for the U.S. Supreme Court and other federal and state courts

“Being a professor here at the School of Law combines the best of all worlds: the chance to shape a new generation of talented lawyers, the luxury to research socio-legal issues in depth, and the opportunity to serve my community. Our students are an invaluable part of all that I do. Their energy, intellect, and dedication have enriched my work in countless ways, and the relationships I have formed with them are priceless.”

THOMAS KADRI

How do UGA Law faculty members help to ensure student success?

We’re a community that really cares about teaching. Since I joined the faculty, I’ve found that I’m just as likely to talk with my colleagues about innovations and challenges in pedagogy as about our research and writing. My sense is that this balance doesn’t always exist at other schools. Nobody’s forcing it upon us — it’s just part of our culture here. We treasure our roles as educators and mentors to our students, and we’re constantly pushing ourselves to improve.

Do you and your colleagues involve students in your research?

Absolutely! I have a small army of research assistants who provide invaluable support to my work. Sometimes I collaborate with students assigned to be my graduate assistants, sometimes I hire students with particular expertise for one-off projects, and sometimes I work with our team of Law Library student researchers. I even co-authored a book this year with a student who began as my research assistant! Depending on your time and interest, there are plenty of ways to get involved and gain this kind of research and writing experience while studying here.

What can a law student expect from you in the classroom?

Energy, compassion… and a funny accent? I grew up in the United Kingdom, so you’ll have to get used to the way I talk when I’m asking you questions! But aside from that quirk, my classroom involves constant dialogue. I love the back-and-forth engagement with my students. Contrary to what you might have heard, the Socratic method isn’t about hazing or scaring you, at least for me. Rather, it’s about collective learning, mutual respect, and critical thinking. But what happens if you don’t know the answer to my question? Will I be angry? No, absolutely not! So long as you’re prepared for class and willing to think through your uncertainties aloud with me, we’ll teach everyone together through our conversation.

What do you like about being part of the UGA Law community?

We tend to have students who really want to be here. That might sound trivial, but it makes a huge difference. Law school can be challenging in all sorts of ways, but our students seem to thrive and feel supported by our close-knit faculty and caring staff. For many of our students, UGA Law is where they’ve always wanted to go, while others might have decided to come after weighing their options. But no matter what led them here, they overwhelmingly appear to be happy and fulfilled. Our affordability is surely part of this story because students have greater freedom to pursue their genuine interests. As a professor, it makes my life so much richer to be surrounded by that kind of community.

BRIANNA HAYES

What led to your decision to attend UGA Law?

My ultimate goal is to provide legal representation to the underserved in rural Georgia, and my commitment to serving that population drove me to pursue my legal education at UGA Law. I wanted to connect with UGA Law’s extensive network of graduates both in Georgia and beyond. I would be remiss if I did not mention that UGA Law is consistently recognized for its high value education, a fact that further drew me to the law school.

What has your time here been like so far?

My time at UGA Law has been nothing short of wonderful. The law school’s atmosphere is collegial, and I credit this to the camaraderie among students and the helpfulness of the professors. I have especially found community in the law school’s award-winning Moot Court Program, through which I am preparing for my second competition. Additionally, the school has clinics and experiences well-suited for many areas of law. My passion for public interest led me to participate in the Public Interest Practicum. Through the practicum, I was able to go into the Athens-Clarke Community twice a week and take legal questions mostly from low income clients. I was supervised byaprofessorinthelawschoolandwasabletoprovidelegaladvice to several clients over the course of a semester. I spent my summer in Washington, D.C. working for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, building my skills and my network. Altogether, the law school’s atmosphere is conducive to receiving a superior education— both because of the people and the opportunities it presents.

What tips would you give to someone considering UGA Law?

Touring the law school is a great way to become acquainted with the environment. From my tour, I was introduced to the law school community and saw myself fitting into the space.

As for the application process, never underestimate the power of your personal statement. Take the time to consider and explain how your life has led up to you pursuing your legal education at UGA Law. This type of thoughtfulness in connecting the dots goes a long way!

ATHENS, GEORGIA: THE CLASSIC CITY

Located in northeast Georgia, Athens has grown alongside the University of Georgia and its students for the past two centuries.

The Classic City, as it is known, combines southern charm and great weather with a progressive atmosphere and a rich art, music and intellectual culture. While life as a law student is busy, Athens offers many opportunities for a study break just a short walk from campus. The law school is located in the heart of historic North Campus, adjacent to downtown’s local restaurants and quirky shops. The area’s entertainment offerings rival those of much larger cities, and a plethora of activities and events cater to a student’s budget.

Law students might find themselves reading outside on North Campus on a crisp fall day or expending boundless spirit with 93,000 loyal fans cheering the Bulldogs to

victory in the famous Sanford Stadium. Others work out in the Ramsey Center, a state-of-the-art fitness facility, or blow off steam kicking around on the intramural fields or running track. Students meet friends at a local pub or a concert venue, grab a coffee in the historic Five Points neighborhood, browse the local shops downtown, or take a relaxing stroll through the State Botanical Gardens.

Athens is not far from several bustling metropolitan areas in the Southeast, including Atlanta, Greenville, and Chattanooga, making it a tourist destination for many.

Law school is a rigorous academic commitment, but in Athens students find a supportive environment with spectacular restaurants, local coffee shops, numerous festivals, a well-rounded music scene, and affordable housing.

“Life as a student at the School of Law was amazing. Less than a five minute walk downtown, there are always fun, affordable activities to do every day with your friends. I consider Athens as a home away from home.”

“The Advocacy Program at the University of Georgia School of Law was one of the most practical and challenging experiences of my law school career. Through the program, I learned how to confidently advocate for my clients and I was able to further develop and refine my written and oral communication skills. I use these skills every day in my practice when serving my business clients.”

EDUCATION IN ACTION

ADVOCACY

The University of Georgia School of Law’s accomplished Moot Court and Mock Trial programs have amassed 12 national, 11 regional, and 3 state titles over the last five years. These programs focus directly on developing critical oral and written advocacy skills that will withstand the intense scrutiny of a court or jury. Through this incredible practical skills experience, our law students become powerful advocates.

Participating on a Moot Court team provides our students the opportunity to draft briefs and present oral arguments, appear before federal and state jurists, and travel to local, regional, national and international competitions. Our Moot Court program is supported by dedicated faculty members and Moot Court alumni and alumnae who volunteer to judge practice rounds of oral arguments.

Members of the law school’s Mock Trial teams deliver opening statements, conduct witness examinations and present closing arguments in the presence of a judge and jury. The Mock Trial program receives strong support from faculty members and Mock Trial alumni and alumnae who dedicate long hours to bench practice rounds, critiquing student arguments and offering suggestions for improvement. This level of support truly benefits our students and helps them to develop the courtroom skills they will need during their legal careers.

BUSINESS LAW AND ETHICS PROGRAM

The University of Georgia School of Law’s Business Law and Ethics Program provides our students significant opportunities to study and engage with the legal concepts and ethical issues confronting attorneys and business leaders in today’s dynamic and global economy. The program includes traditional doctrinal courses, practice-based courses that link legal theory to the practice of law, and experiential learning opportunities such as the Business Law Clinic and Corporate Counsel Externship. These experiential learning opportunities, together with our negotiations team, have a particular focus on transactional practice and are a key element of the program. In and out of the classroom, our students practice essential skills such as negotiation, contract drafting, critical thinking, counseling, and creative problem-solving. As students practice these skills, our Business Law and Ethics Program maintains a strong emphasis on

business ethics, particularly with respect to the attorney’s role in advising business clients.

The Corsair Law Society is an organization for high achieving students at the School of Law who are interested in pursuing careers in business law. The Society seeks to leverage the law school’s national presence to provide students with career opportunities across the country. A network of alumni, alumnae, and friends of the law school in cities throughout the United States serve as advisers and advocates for these students. Students also engage in discussions and learning opportunities with law students, business students, and professionals to enhance their understanding of corporate legal matters.

Legal journals provide students the opportunity to enhance legal writing skills beyond the classroom experience. Our students publish four highly regarded journals:

• Georgia Criminal Law Review

• Georgia Law Review

• Georgia Journal of International & Comparative Law

• Journal of Intellectual Property Law

These journals, which are frequently cited by federal and state courts, textbooks, treatises and other law reviews, follow the customary format with articles from leading scholars and practitioners comprising the bulk of the content and another section consisting of student notes. Our journal participants can receive academic credit. Previous journal members have gone on to clerk for members of the federal judiciary, practice with the most respected firms in the nation, distinguish themselves in public service, and lead businesses.

“The Negotiation Team taught me practical skills that I continue to use every day in my legal career. The competitions exposed me to complicated transactions where I was able to further develop both my drafting and negotiating skills. My time on the team was an invaluable experience that will continue to shape my legal career for years to come.”

UNMATCHED INVESTMENT IN YOUR FUTURE

Prospective law students understandably ask questions not only about their chances of getting a job but the type of job they will receive. We strive to be an unparalleled return on investment.

A key advantage of our law school is that its relatively low tuition and the affordable cost of living helps keep the costs of attendance manageable. Relative to more expensive law schools, this broadens the range of jobs that graduates can economically manage during the early stages of their career.

Beyond being a good return on investment, a University of Georgia School of Law degree opens doors in a variety of local, national, and international careers. Our alumni work in 50 different states and D.C. and 58 different countries. For recent graduates, the State of Georgia remains the top choice for employment. Other popular markets for graduates include Colorado, Florida, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Texas, and Washington, D.C.

Not only does a our law degree carry national currency, it prepares you for many different careers. While the greatest number of our graduates enter private practice (whether at large firms or small ones), many embark on different paths. The School of Law boasts an excellent record placing students in prestigious judicial clerkships where students spend one or two years assisting a judge. An increasing number of graduates go directly into business; in recent years graduates have begun work at businesses like JP Morgan Chase & Co., The Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo, and McKesson Corporation, just to name a few. Finally, a steady number of graduates go on to serve their state and country, whether as prosecutors, public defenders, officers in the Judge Advocate General Corps or other forms of public service. Here in particular, the combination of a first-rate legal education and a good return on investment pays off – graduates can take these jobs without worrying about the crippling level of law school debt.

ALUMNI/ALUMNAE

This ever-expanding, worldwide association of approximately 11,500 graduates spans the globe and regularly returns to Athens. Our graduates have served as leaders including 11 governors, more than 125 state and federal legislators, and over 90 federal judges and State Supreme Court justices to date.

What led to your decision to attend UGA Law?

Two things led to my decision to attend: 1) Community and 2) Return on Investment. From the beginning, I felt like UGA could be a place where I could thrive academically and socially – the first thing current students brought up when I toured was the collaborative atmosphere, and to me that spoke volumes. UGA Law has also given me the financial flexibility I needed to be able to determine what work drives me and to pursue opportunities that align with that drive.

My experience at UGA Law lived up to my expectations. In terms of community, I have made some of my best friends in law school. I have had the privilege of getting to know people who will become leaders in the state and throughout the country. I have befriended— and, as a result, learned from and been inspired by—people with vastly different life experiences, interests, and perspectives. I am confident that the people I have met through UGA Law will remain my mentors, colleagues, and friends for life.

What was your time at UGA Law like?

I feel very lucky to have been able to interact with faculty as much as I did. Faculty members have made time for me to help me navigate my career path, discuss class questions or legal issues, and to develop as an academic and a student. I would never have known I had a chance of securing a federal judicial clerkship without the help of key faculty members like Prof. Chapman and Dean Barnett who alerted me to that possibility and supported me through the process. Dean Rutledge took the time as my faculty mentor to guide me and give me advice whenever I needed it. Numerous other professors did the same. I am very grateful for their help.

How do you feel about being a UGA Law Graduate and all that lies ahead?

I remain proud and excited to be a UGA Law graduate. I am currently clerking for fellow UGA Law alumna Judge Lisa Godbey Wood in the Southern District of Georgia, and after that I am clerking for Judge Scott Matheson on the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. I am excited to be an active member of the alumni community and to support the law school in its efforts to increase accessibility to our institution and diversity within our profession. I have maintained the network that I created during my time in law school, and I look forward to continuing to expand it!

AUTHENTIC SCHOLARSHIPS

Prospective law students want both a reasonably priced legal education and clear guidance as they embark on a path to realize their professional goals. Our law school helps you achieve both by offering:

Authentic Scholarships – While scholarships offered by some law schools represent little more than “discounts” on tuition, virtually all scholarships offered by our admissions office represent true dollars donated by graduates and friends giving back to the institution to support the next generation of lawyers and leaders, whether in the form of an endowed scholarship or a gift to the Law School Fund;

Diverse Scholarships – Many of the law school’s scholarships are based on an assessment of the student’s academic achievements and potential; others, however, honor particular experiences or values such as first-generation college graduates, veterans, proven leaders or accomplished athletes.

Enduring Relationships – Our law school’s stewardship program helps to develop relationships between scholarship recipients and donors. Donors often become mentors as law graduates embark on their careers.

Over 70% of our incoming law students received scholarships. Scholarships are awarded to admitted applicants after a review of their admission files. For priority merit scholarship consideration, applications should be completed and received in the Office of Admissions by February 1, 2024. No separate application form is necessary to be considered for a School of Law scholarship.

School of Law Scholarships Include:

• Merit scholarship awards ranging from a few thousand dollars to full-tuition plus Distinguished Law Fellowships, which include full tuition and a professional development stipend.

• Tuition Equalization Scholarships allowing non-resident recipients to pay tuition for the first year of law school at the resident rate rather than the non-resident rate. (See Georgia Residency section on page 51 for more information on how to pay in-state rates beyond your first year.)
