Earlier today, U.S. News & World Report issued its latest ranking of the nation’s law schools, and once again the University of Georgia School of Law was ranked in the Top 20. This is UGA Law's second year in a row at this position, which is its highest ever. The School of Law remains the highest ranked law school in the state of Georgia (for the fourth year) and is counted among the top seven public law schools in the nation (again).
The University of Georgia recognized this year’s Alumni Awards honorees during a luncheon recently. The annual Alumni Awards were first presented in 1936 to celebrate those individuals and organizations that demonstrate an outstanding commitment to UGA. Among the 2024 honorees were the School of Law's Wyckliffe A. "Wyck" Knox Jr. (LL.B.'64) and David B. Dove (J.D.'14). The law school has also received strong support from the Callaway Foundation and Susan Waltman, which were recognized as well.
