The University of Georgia
School of Law brings several eminent scholars to its campus each year to promote the intellectual exchange
of ideas.
John A. Sibley Lecture Series
In 1964, the trustees of the Loridans Foundation established the John A. Sibley Lectures. These talks honor the leadership and public spirit of this 1911 University of Georgia School of Law graduate. It is hard to place the contributions of John Adams Sibley in any given decade, for his service to the law school and to the state of Georgia extended over a period of almost 80 years
