Connect: We are a community of authentic support. That 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 matching you with a four-person mentorship team, including an alumnus or alumna based upon your background and interests.
Prepare: Rigorous training, in the classroom and the courtroom, prepares you for the demands of legal practice. During the last academic year, law students argued before four different federal appellate courts as well as the Supreme Court of Georgia. Our awardwinning advocacy team once again won multiple national tournaments, including the 2022 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.
• Above all else, it means a laser focus on helping you obtain a job, pass the bar and minimize debt.
• It means that student debt has dropped 45% over the last years.
• It means that 100% of our first-generation college graduates and veterans receive financial assistance.
Lead: We are a community of leaders. Current and former government officials from judges to deputy attorneys generals regularly teach our classes, serving in various capacities like Jurists in Residence or guest lecturers. During the last academic year, sixteen 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. For the past several years, roughly 20% of our graduates have served as law clerks to judges, and just recently the School of Law was ranked #8 in the nation for federal clerkship placements. Those clerkships train future legal leaders. These are just a few ways that our law school community, a community that has risen to the challenges of the recent years, strives daily to be the nation’s best return on investment in legal education and works tirelessly to redefine what it means to be a great national public institution. We invite you to learn more about our community in the pages that follow, through a virtual tour on our website, a scan of our social media or a campus visit.
A MESSAGE
Mentors stay in touch with their mentees throughout the academic year, offering advice on matters like course selection and job searches. Our unflinching commitment to connect you with people who will make a difference in your professional lives extends beyond the mentorship program. First-generation college graduates will find a home in our First-Generation Students Association, and veterans will benefit from our 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 totaling more than $305,000 during summer 2022.
• It means learning from professors, judges, corporate executives and government officials working and teaching at the cutting edge of their fields.
Peter B. “Bo” Rutledge Dean & Talmadge Chair of Law
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 aa pioneering commitment to affordability and accessibility. What does this mean for you? FROM OUR DEAN
Sincerely,
As the first law school in history to achieve the honor of “Best Value Law School” for three consecutive years, 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, a clerkship, government or in the public interest sector, your degree will translate across professions and state lines.
• It means joining a law school that posted the highest employment rate of any law school in the nation for fulltime, long-term jobs requiring bar passage or benefiting from a J.D. We outpaced and outplaced them all.
• It means the opportunity to participate in 17 different clinical and experiential learning programs, designed to equip you with the skills demanded by today’s legal employers.

What do you like about being a member of the faculty at the School of Law?
How do UGA Law faculty members help to ensure student success?
What can a law student expect from you in the classroom? I teach code-based commercial law subjects, including bankruptcy and secured transactions. Many students expect these courses to be dull, but are pleasantly surprised to realize how interesting and relevant they are to everyday life. Because the topics come up so frequently in business disputes, students in my classroom can expect to encounter course material through the perspective of a practicing attorney. Each day we grapple with real-world client problems, and our discussions touch on legal, strategic, and ethical considerations to reach a solution.
I most enjoy the sense of collaboration and genuine enthusiasm for learning that flows throughout the community. I am constantly impressed by my colleagues’ research and clinical contributions to different corners of the law, and am energized by the level of student and faculty engagement both inside the classroom and beyond.
Faculty members support students in many ways, through both formal and informal channels. For example, I enjoy collaborating with students in my capacity as faculty advisor to organizations like the Hispanic Law Students Association (HLSA). I also connect with students in conversations after class or over a cup of coffee, where we discuss everything from course selection and clerkship applications to coping with stress and maintaining work/life balance in law school and practice. These opportunities to help support and mentor students are the most rewarding part of my role as a professor, and I am proud that they are a core part of our law school’s culture.

The Dean Rusk International Law Center is home to the Master of Laws (LL.M.) degree. Individuals who have earned a law degree equivalent to a J.D. or LL.B. from a foreign university are eligible to apply to study for an LL.M. degree. LL.M. students not only study side by side with a diverse group of highly qualified J.D. students, but also benefit from the close personal attention of our world-class faculty. After earning their degrees, they join a global network of graduates. Our LL.M. degree is awarded upon successful completion, typically over one academic year, of 26 credit hours. Some LL.M. students will pursue a general course of study. Others will choose to focus on an area of concentration, for example: Public Institutions and the Law; Business Law and Dispute Settlement; Family Law and Migration Law; and Transnational, International and Comparative Law. Another area of concentration is Preparation for a U.S. Bar Exam, in which students undertake a curriculum designed to make them eligible to apply to sit for bar examinations in a number of U.S. States, including New York and Georgia. An additional option for qualified students is the two year dual LL.M./M.B.A. degree. A student who is an LL.M. candidate at The University of Georgia may apply to transfer to the J.D. program. Accepted candidates may start the J.D. program after successful completion of the LL.M. degree.

Our program is designed for individuals who do not wish to become lawyers, but who want to enhance their expertise in particular areas of law that intersect with their professional interests. Our M.S.L. students create their own individualized program of study by selecting courses from the School of Law’s extensive J.D. curriculum and take classes alongside J.D. students whose admissions credentials place them among the most highly qualified in the nation. The M.S.L. degree is awarded following the successful completion of 30 hours of course credit.

What led to your decision to attend UGA Law?
I was making the decision about where to attend law school during the height of the pandemic, so it was imperative that I find a safe environment and a sense of community. I found those things at UGA Law, along with a high caliber faculty with impressive Ivy League or Big Law backgrounds, a high bar passage rate, and one of the nation’s best values in legal education. No other schools I looked into offered a similar balance of offerings, and I did not see myself thriving anywhere else. I knew at UGA Law I would have an array of options in front of me to ensure I could count on my law school encouraging me to expand my horizons.
Meet Current Student SAVANNAH GRANT
Make sure you consider your health in choosing a program you cannot be much of a lawyer if you are leaving law school depleted. Spend time thinking about who you are and where you feel safe, challenged, and stimulated. A law school should provide a demanding educational environment that also excites and inspires you and your classmates. UGA Law far exceeds those expectations when it comes to producing well-rounded, creative, and high-achieving legal professionals. law.uga.edu
What has your time here been like so far?
My first year at UGA Law, I joined the International Law Society and Peer Court. My second year I became an editorial member of the Georgia Law Review, competed on Moot Court, became President of the ILS, and I have participated in the Community Health Law Partnership clinic. Next year I will extern in Atlanta for a judge on the Georgia Business Court among so many other things. This past summer I worked at the Palo Alto, California offices of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, P.C. where I was able to work with their tech-based clients. I got there through the support of the career development office, various doctrinal and clinical faculty members, and some coast-to-coast Alumni connections. The UGA Law community is huge and very supportive!

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.

The Corsair Law Society fosters opportunities for students pursuing transactional law or corporate litigation practices.
Legal journals provide students the opportunity to enhance legal writing skills beyond the classroom experience. Our students publish four highly regarded journals:
Law students participating on the Negotiation Competition Team hone their bargaining, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills and compete on the regional and national level in competitions involving negotiation of transactional matters and disputes. In some competitions, our students also draft complex transactional documents that are the subject of the negotiation. Our teams have captured several national titles and earned other significant recognition.
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.”

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.

Two things led to my decision to attend: 1) Community and 2) Return on Investment.
What was your time at UGA Law like?
What led to your decision to attend UGA Law, and what was your experience like while you were there?
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 who alerted me to that possibility and supported me through the process. Prof. Chapman and Dean Barnett helped me navigate the process of applying for Judicial Clerkships. Dean Rutledge took the time as my faculty mentor to guide me and give me advice whenever I needed it. I am very grateful for their help. How do you feel about being a UGA Law graduate and all that lies ahead?
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 given me the financial flexibility I needed to be able to determine what work drives me and to pursue opportunities like judicial clerkships.
I feel very excited about being a UGA Law graduate! I am clerking for 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 become an active member of the alumni community and to try to support the law school in its efforts to increase accessibility to our institution and diversity within our profession. I intend to maintain the network that I have created during my time in law school, and I look forward to expanding it!

My experience at UGA Law lived up to those expectations. In terms of community, I have made some of my best friends in law school.

AUTHENTIC SCHOLARSHIPS

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.
AUTHENTIC SCHOLARSHIPS
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, 2023. No separate application form is necessary to be considered for a School of Law scholarship. 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 alums 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;
