Associate Professor Christian Turner recently visited the Georgian Institute of Public Affairs in Tbilisi, Georgia, to train faculty and staff in artificial intelligence and assist with the development of a framework to govern AI policy and usage at the university. The week-long trip was part of an international exchange supported by the American Councils for International Education.
Congratulations to recent graduates Dustin M. Batchelor (J.D.’26) and Maya E.M. Davis (J.D.’26) on being named Academic All-American Advocates by the National Association of Legal Advocacy Educators. Fewer than 30 students nationwide received the honor, which recognizes students who have had exemplary success in courtroom advocacy competitions, modeled good leadership and fellowship within the law school community and excelled academically.
The University of Georgia School of Law was named the ninth-best mock trial program in the country by Gavel Rankings, which seeks to recognize trial competition results and acknowledge schools winning “the toughest competitions.”
Congratulations to third-year law students Adoris M. Gibbs and Samantha R. “Sam” Motley who were named Equal Justice Works Fellows through the Design-Your-Own Fellowship program. This fellowship “seeks to create opportunities for lawyers to transform their passion for equal justice into a lifelong commitment to public service.”
