Faculty Events

The goal of this series is to break the silence around mental health in the law community by featuring a diverse panel of Georgia Law faculty, staff, students, and alum who will speak candidly and openly about their personal experiences and challenges. This event invites us all to be vulnerable and empathetic. We are not talking about numbers and statistics; rather, our speakers offer their own personal accounts on mental health and wellness.

The day-long virtual symposium will discuss a range of topics related to voting in the United States, including the history of the Civil Rights and Suffrage movements, the Electoral College, and the future of voting rights litigation. This past election cycle has highlighted the importance of emerging swing states like Georgia. We invite students, practitioners, scholars, and any other interested parties to join us for this exciting discussion. The event is free to UGA students, staff, faculty, community members, and attorneys not seeking CLE credit.

Please join the Federalist Society for our annual Judges Panel on Friday January 17. The panel will begin at 12pm and will conclude at 1:10pm. At 12:50pm there will be a pause for students who have 1pm classes to exit the room and make it to class. The panel will be held in Room C. We hope that you will join us for this event. It is an excellent event for any student interested in clerking or interning for a judge, and a great way to learn more about our federal judiciary.
