David Shipley joined Georgia Law in 1998 as Dean after serving as Dean of the University of Kentucky College of Law (1993-98) and Dean of the University of Mississippi School of Law (1990-93). He taught at the University of South Carolina School of Law from 1977 to 1990 and was a visiting professor at William & Mary (1983-84) and Ohio State (1986-87).

After stepping down as Georgia's Dean in 2003, Shipley worked with faculty at Ohio State's Moritz College of Law and UGA's Oxford Program to establish the Oxford Law Semester, plan and design the basic curriculum, recruit students for 2006 and 2007, and secure approval of the program by the American Bar Association. Shipley was the American professor in residence at Oxford during the 2007 program, teaching Comparative Intellectual Property and International Administrative Law. He regards his semester teaching in the Oxford Law program as one the best experiences in his 30 years as a legal educator.
