Staff Events

In celebration of Open Access Week (October 19-25), the law library will host a panel of University of Georgia School of Law faculty to provide greater context for the film, what open access is, how it relates to open educational resources, and legal implications of digital and information activism.

This panel will focus on the effects race plays on the death penalty in America. Professor Nesset will provide a beginning presentation on the status of legal challenges to the death penalty based on race, and then the panelists will speak on their personal experiences of race in their capital punishment cases.

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.

Come hear Spencer Frye, our Athens representative in the Georgia House, discuss the current legislative session and future of politics in Georgia. Lunch will be served.
