Official Georgia Law Student Listservs

See the Georgia Law Mailroom for complete listing of all Georgia Law student listservs.  Student requests to post specific text to a faculty and/or staff listserv should be sent to a law school senior administrator.    Any posting to an official Georgia Law listserv must be done from sender's UGA account.  No one may anonymously post messages to Georgia Law listservs.

Always safeguard the security of your MyID/email password.  Online password changes are immediate and easily done. The UGA Help Desk, helpdesk@uga.edu  or  706-542-3106, provides direct assistance with UGA email.  UGA policy requires each student to regularly read messages in one's personal UGA email account (AKA, the MyID account). 

The official law student listserv is used by Law School administration to inform students of official Law School functions, registration calendars, cancellation of classes, and similar matters.  The official Georgia Law student listservs do not accept postings from students. Students cannot unsubscribe to these official listservs.

The Lawstu-Announce listserv is a moderated list to which student organizations and students can post.  While all new students will be subscribed to this list via one's personal UGA email account. In fact, students can unsubscribe or resubscribe from this list whenever they so choose.

Lawstu-Announce will only accept a message posted from an enrolled law student's < @uga.edu > account (if message comes from, say, < username@gmail.com > the system has no way to verify you as an authorized poster).

1)   All postings must relate to one of the following categories:

    a) announcement by officers of recognized Law School student organizations concerning meetings, events, projects, achievements and similar matters (no explicit advertisement of  the sale or distribution of alcoholic beverages is permitted); or

    b) lost and found messages posted by individual law students concerning property lost or found in the Law School; or

    c) requests posted by individual law students for information about Law School class assignments.

2) All postings must be consistent with all University of Georgia rules and guidelines, along with all relevant laws of the United States and the State of Georgia.

3) All proposed postings must be approved before appearing on the listserv.  The moderator charged with the responsibility for enforcing the rules shall be a Law School employee.  Until further notice, that employee shall be Marc Galvin, the Law School's Director of Student Affairs and Registrar.
