The face of legal education has greatly evolved over the past 15 decades. However, its two central elements have remained the same – dedicated and talented faculty teaching engaged and intelligent students. While entering student academic credentials continue to climb at Georgia, so does faculty performance as teachers and scholars.

Recently, fi ve Georgia Law professors received new titles or were granted tenure, while three were recognized on the national stage for their contributions to the broader legal community. We have also hired two new faculty members who will enhance our curricular offerings.

Our faculty continues to produce scholarship that addresses pressing issues in today’s society. Faculty articles have appeared or are forthcoming in law journals associated with top universities such as Chicago, Fordham, Georgetown, Indiana (Bloomington), Minnesota (Twin Cities), Northwestern, Pennsylvania, Stanford, Texas, Vanderbilt and Virginia. In addition, faculty books have been published or are forthcoming from the Harvard University Press, the University of Pennsylvania Press, Aspen Publishers and Thomson/West, among others.

Georgia Law continues to attract high-profi le speakers and guests. Visitors in the past two years have included fi ve former U.S. Secretaries of State – Madeleine Albright, James Baker III, Warren Christopher, Henry Kissinger and

Rebecca Hanner WhiteDean and J. Alton

Hosch Professor of Law

Colin Powell – former U.S. Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, former U.S. Sen. Wyche Fowler Jr., former U.S. Secretary of Education Shirley Mount Hufstedler and the Chief Justice of the Indian Supreme Court K.G. Balakrishnan. This year, we look forward to welcoming the former Chief Justice of the Georgia Supreme Court Leah Ward Sears, the Delaware Court of Chancery Chancellor William B. Chandler III, former U.S. Attorney General W. Ramsey Clark and former U.S. Attorney David C. Iglesias.

The accomplishments of our alumni further demonstrate the quality of the legal education provided at Georgia Law. Four out of the last fi ve years, a Georgia Law graduate has been selected to serve as a judicial clerk for the U.S. Supreme Court. Also, several of our former students have entered the legal academy, with two more joining the law school faculty ranks this fall. This, of course, is all in addition to the scores of alumni who have distinguished themselves in the practice of law, in the corporate sector or in public service, including on the federal and state benches.

With 150 years of pride and tradition, Georgia Law has a remarkable record. I invite you to spend a few moments with this publication to learn more about why the University of Georgia School of Law is one of the leading public law schools in our country today.

� is academic year, the University of Georgia School of Law will celebrate a signifi cant mile-stone – its 150th anniversary, placing Georgia Law among the oldest law programs affi liated with a university or college in our country. Since offi cially opening its doors in October 1859, the School of Law has prided itself on the quality of the legal education it provides.

I really enjoy seeing improvement in student comprehension of difficult material. It’s fun to watch students begin to ‘get it’ as we work through challenging topics like the Rule Against Perpetuities, congressional power under the 14th Amendment or intestate succession under the Uniform Probate Code.
