The Public Interest Practicum, directed by Clinical Associate Professor Elizabeth M. Grant, collaborated with the Georgia Department of Community Affairs to publish an update for the Georgia Landlord Tenant Handbookwhich serves as a guide for tenants and landlords to understand their legal rights and responsibilities

Recent School of Law graduates Elizabeth J. Ferguson (J.D.’25), William P. “Paxton” Murphy (J.D.’24) and Jack B. Richardson (J.D.’24) updated sections on habitability, rights of tenants experiencing domestic violence, landlord retaliation, squatting, affordable housing programs and other important topics. The students also collaborated with the Georgia State University College of Law’s Center for Access to Justice on this project.
