“I have had the distinct pleasure and honor to have served as president of the University of Georgia Law School Association and chairman of the law school Board of Visitors. Early on it became apparent to me that the difference between a ‘good’ law school and an ‘excellent’ law school was the use of the private funds that came from friends and alumni.

Graduates on Giving

Without private contributions, Georgia Law could not have become the school that it is today, that is, one of the top law schools in the country. Numerous generous gifts have funded endowed or titled chairs or professorships to attract and retain talented faculty. Funding for library acquisitions, expansion and upkeep of the physical facilities benefit from private contributions.

Leadership Donor

Scholarships are another important key to the success of our law school. Only private gifts can provide scholarship dollars and the HOPE Scholarship is not available for graduate programs. Having a wonderful, functional and beautiful physical facility and a talented corps of professors is not complete without exceptionally bright and energetic law students. Scholarships allow us to recruit this type of student applicants. These are the reasons why my wife, Claudia, and I support Georgia Law with our time and contributions. Dean White, the faculty, staff and the Law School Advancement office have created and maintained an exceptional academic atmosphere for future generations to obtain their legal education. I urge you now to make your contribution to these efforts for the perpetuation of Georgia Law.” John S. Noell, Jr. (J.D. ’65) Cook Noell Tolley & Bates, LLP Athens, Georgia
