The 2012–2013 University of Georgia School of Law Annual Report
Dean's Report 2013 Dear Alumni and Friends, Each year, I welcome the opportunity to prepare this annual Dean's Report as it allows me to reflect on the activities of the previous 12 months. Having just completed my 10th year as the dean of the University of Georgia School Dean Rebecca Hanner White of Law, I continue to find the loyalty and affection demonstrated by you, our alumni and friends, to be inspiring. Relying upon the talents of our dedicated faculty and staff as well as our intelligent and engaging students, the school has accomplished many goals and has seized many opportunities. It has also faced challenges; however, I want you to know that your law school is thriving, and our future is bright. As you may be aware, one of our own now leads our university. On July 1, Jere W. Morehead (J.D.'80) assumed the helm of UGA, after being unanimously selected by the University System of Georgia Board of Regents earlier in the year. I am confident President UGA President Jere Morehead will lead our state's Morehead (J.D.'80) flagship institution of higher education to new heights, and I take great comfort in the fact that he understands and appreciates the value of our law school and the role it plays within the greater university. He has said one of the most important things he can do as president is to keep the university focused on being the strongest academic institution that it can possibly be. I know you join me in wishing him well and desiring nothing but the best for UGA and our law school.
This past summer, phase three of our multiyear, multimillion dollar renovation process was completed. This most recent construction involved updating the hallways on the second and third floors to aesthetically link with the work previously completed on the first floor, the Rotunda and the northern end of the law school's primary building. If you have not been to campus recently, I encourage you to come and see this renovation for yourself. The law school's main building is now simply stunning. It still has that familiar feel, but the look is brighter and more open. Much of the work completed over the past three years was designed with our students in mind, and these changes have helped to repurpose underutilized areas and to address overcrowding. Approximately 4,000 square feet of building space was "captured," the Sutherland Courtyard was transformed into a beautiful and useable space, and several study/interview rooms were created in addition to new student organization offices. Last fall, the second floor foyer, near the Alexander Campbell King Law Library main entrance,
Last fall, the law school's second floor foyer, near the Alexander Campbell King Law Library main entrance, was named in honor of Kathelen Amos (J.D.'82).
The 2012–2013 University of Georgia School of Law Annual Report
Dean's Report 2013 was named in honor of Kathelen V. Amos (J.D.'82) in recognition of a leadership gift made to the law school to assist with these physical improvements. I want to thank Kathelen and her husband, Dan, for their support as well as the many others of you who helped make these renovations possible. Considering the fact that much of the school's primary building had not been updated since the late 1960s, this remodeling was well overdue. Again, I encourage you to come and see for yourself the remarkable physical transformation that has taken place at your law school. On the faculty front, this fall we welcomed three new assistant professors who came to Athens after holding positions at three of our nation's top law schools—Yale University, Stanford University and New York University. Jason A. Cade, who is teaching Immigration Law and will lead the law school's newest experiential learning program—the MedicalLegal Partnership Clinic—joins us from NYU, where he taught and assisted with the school's Immigration Rights Clinic. Previously, he practiced in small Assistant Professor firm and nonprofit settings as Jason Cade well as clerked for Magistrate Judge Steven M. Gold of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. He earned his bachelor's degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his law degree magna cum laude from Brooklyn Law School, where he was executive articles editor of the Brooklyn Law Review. Formerly the executive director of Stanford's Constitutional Law Center, Nathan S. Chapman is teaching in the areas of law and ethics, law and religion, and Georgia practice. While at Stanford, Nathan was presented with the Knight Favorite Professor Award. Before entering Assistant Professor academia, he was an associate Nathan Chapman at Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr in Washington, D.C., and clerked for Judge Gerald B. Tjoflat of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit. His bachelor's degree is from Belmont University, while his master's and law degrees are from Duke University, where he was an articles editor for the Duke Law Journal. 2
Christina Mulligan, who specializes in intellectual property and the relationship between law and technology, previously served as a postdoctoral associate and lecturer for the Information Society Project at Yale Law School. Additionally, she was a staff attorney at the Institute for Assistant Professor Justice and served as a judicial Christina Mulligan clerk for Judge Charles F. Lettow of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. Christina earned her bachelor's degree cum laude and her law degree cum laude from Harvard University, where she served as a production and an article editor for the Harvard Journal of Law & Technology. I am pleased to share with you that Lonnie T. Brown Jr. is now serving as the law school's associate dean for academic affairs. (A post he assumed after the retirement of Associate Dean and Professor Emeritus Paul M. Kurtz on June 30.) Lonnie brings academic Associate Dean for administrative experience to this Academic Affairs role as he served as the inaugural Lonnie Brown Administrative Fellow in UGA's Office of the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost during the 2007-08 year. Specializing in civil procedure and legal ethics, he is also the current holder of the Cleveland Distinguished Chair of Legal Ethics and Professionalism. Very active in the broader legal community since joining the Georgia Law faculty in 2002, Lonnie presently serves on the Drafting Committee for the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam and is the principal substantive consultant for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia's Local Rules Revision Project. Moreover, he is currently organizing the 14th Annual Legal Ethics and Professionalism Symposium that will focus on ethical and professionalism issues facing the bench and will be hosted by Georgia Law this coming February.

In this role, Bo will work closely with members of the law school faculty, especially its untenured professors, to expand and promote scholarly activities. Bo, who also holds the law school's Talmadge Chair, has teaching and research interests that include international dispute resolution, arbitration, international business transactions and the U.S. Supreme Court. Other honors bestowed on our faculty in the past year include Woodruff Chair in International Law Diane Marie Amann's appointment as the special adviser to the International Criminal Court on children in and affected by armed conflict. She was also given the American Society for International Law Prominent Woman in International Law Award, which honors the "work of outstanding women" in this field. Lonnie Brown was presented with the Student Bar Association Professionalism Award in April. Associate Professor Elizabeth Chamblee "Beth" Burch was elected to serve as a member of the American Law Institute, an organization that produces scholarly work to "clarify, modernize and improve the law." Associate Professor Harlan G. Cohen was nominated for, and is presently serving, a three-year term as a member of ASIL's governing body. He co-edited the Proceedings of the 106th Annual Meeting of the American Society of International Law. Additionally, he had the honor of serving as an observer delegate at the 14th United Nations Open-ended Informal Consultative Process on Oceans and the Law of the Sea during June. Hosch Professor Julian A. Cook III has been named a 2013-2014 SEC Administrative Fellow. He is one of only four UGA professors selected to participate in this program, which is part of a broader Academic Leadership Development Program of the Southeastern Conference that seeks to identify, prepare and advance academic leaders for roles within SEC institutions and beyond. Assistant Professor Jaime L. Dodge has been selected for the Next Generation Program of the 2013 National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges. She is the only scholar selected for inclusion in this group, which includes 40 bankruptcy attorneys who have demonstrated the potential to become highly respected members of the bankruptcy bar in the coming years. Matthew I. "Matt" Hall was promoted to associate professor.
Elizabeth Weeks Leonard (J.D.'99) was promoted to the rank of full professor. Associate Professor Hillel Y. Levin was granted tenure and was presented with the C. Ronald Ellington Award for Excellence in Teaching by our student body in the spring. Assistant Professor Timothy Meyer was one of only approximately 20 academic and professional experts from around the world who served as a contributing author for the U.N. Industrial Development Organization's report titled "Networks for Prosperity: Connecting Development Knowledge Beyond 2015," which analyzed the nexus between the global connectedness of a country and its economic success, sustainability and government effectiveness. Lisa Milot was promoted to associate professor with tenure. Sibley Professor in Corporate and Business Law Larry D. Thompson, who is currently on leave from Georgia Law and working as PepsiCo's executive vice president, government affairs, general counsel and corporate secretary, was elected as a counsellor for ASIL's executive council. Christian Turner was promoted to associate professor with tenure, and he received the John C. O'Byrne Memorial Award for Significant Contributions to Furthering Faculty-Student Relations from our law students earlier this year. Law Library Director Carol A. Watson (J.D.'87) was one of eight academic law librarians selected to serve on the Academic Law Library Advisory Board created by Wolters Kluwer Law & Business, one of the nation's leading publishers of legal education content. She was also one of four individuals honored by bepress as a 2013 Institutional Repository All-Star for her demonstration of unique and replicable approaches to IR success. And, recently retired Distinguished Research Professor and Rogers Chair of Law Alan Watson was presented with the American Society of Comparative Law's Lifetime Achievement Award, which honors living senior comparatists whose writings have changed the shape or direction of American comparative or private international law. As you can see, the faculty at Georgia Law strives to contribute meaningfully to the greater legal profession beyond the very important role of educating the next generation of legal leaders. Furthermore, they take great pride in advancing scholarly debate by

Additionally, we will welcome Rod Smolla, former president of Furman University and former law school dean at Washington and Lee University and the University of Richmond, who will teach Higher Education Law and Constitutional Litigation. Enriching the intellectual atmosphere at the law school each year are the numerous guest lecturers, keynote speakers and panelists who participate in conferences and programs covering a multitude of topics. Many of these guests are nationally and internationally recognized as experts in their fields and importantly offer varying viewpoints on current legal issues and societal matters. I am grateful our law school's strong reputation allows us to attract scholars, practitioners and leaders of such high caliber. Some of those who came to Athens during the last 12 months include: • U.N. Under-Secretary-General for Legal Affairs and Legal Counsel Patricia O'Brien delivered one of the keynote addresses at the ASIL Midyear Meeting and Research Forum hosted by Georgia Law late last year. • U.N.

Class of 2016 Academic Credentials
One area we have been working diligently to expand in recent years is our experiential learning offerings. I am proud to share that we will soon have 14 selections for our students. In the fall of 2014, we will begin offering the Medical-Legal Partnership Clinic. Our other most recent additions were the Business Law Clinic and the UGA Fanning Institute's Community Economic Development Clinic, which both debuted this past

As stated earlier, we have a very intelligent and engaged student body. This year's entering class possesses academic credentials that make it one of our school's best. The Class of 2016, comprised of 201 students, has a median undergraduate grade point average of 3.69, which matches a school record, and a median Law School Admission Test score of 163, which represents the top 10 percent of test takers worldwide. Georgia residents comprise the overwhelming majority of this class, although these students represent 23 states and come from almost 90 different undergraduate universities and colleges. The most popular undergraduate majors for this class are: political science, history, economics, English and psychology. Additionally, 56 percent of the class is male, and approximately 21 percent indicated they are members of a minority group. Please note that all of these statistics were calculated on the first day of orientation, August 15. This year's Master of Laws class includes 17 lawyers and practitioners from the countries of Azerbaijan, Belgium, Cameroon, China, Colombia, Ethiopia, Germany, Japan, Nigeria, the Russian Federation and Trinidad. Interestingly, our Japanese student is a University of Tokyo faculty member who is here as part of a Fulbright Award. Earlier this year, I made an adjustment to the law school's admissions staff. Gregory L. "Greg" Roseboro (J.D.'87) was promoted to director of law admissions— while retaining his title of director of diversity programs—and Ramsey Henderson Bridges (J.D.'05) was named associate director of law admissions. These two, with a combined total of approximately 25 years of admissions experience, will continue to work with Associate Dean for Administration Paul B. Rollins in recruiting the best and brightest to study law at UGA.
In the fall of 2014, Georgia Law will have 14 experiential learning offerings for its students. Here, Criminal Defense Clinic Director Russell Gabriel (J.D.'85) speaks with students in front of some courthouse holding cells.
spring. These complement our other offerings in the civil area—the Appellate Litigation Clinic, Civil Externships, the Corporate Counsel Externship, the Environmental Practicum, the Family Violence Clinic, the Mediation Practicum, the Public Interest Practicum and the Washington, D.C., Semester in Practice Program—and in the criminal arena—the Criminal Defense Clinic, the Prosecutorial Clinic and the Capital Assistance Project. International exposure is another area of great emphasis for our students. This past summer, through our innovative Global Internship Program, 17 students traveled to 12 countries on five continents and worked for entities such as the Human Rights League in Slovakia, the Clorox Company in Argentina, King & Wood Mallesons in China and the National Centre for Research on Europe in New Zealand. These work experiences supplement our international academic offerings at the University of Oxford during the spring semester and our summer study programs in China
The 2012–2013 University of Georgia School of Law Annual Report
Dean's Report 2013 (in the cities of Beijing and Shanghai), and Belgium and Switzerland (in the cities of Brussels and Geneva, respectively). On a related front, the law school launched a new global learning initiative earlier this year when 13 law students from the University Mauricio de Nassau in Brazil came to Athens. As part of the new Transnational Law Program, they studied international law, human rights law and environmental law in Athens for one week. This program further demonstrates the law school's commitment to international experiences and strengthens our reputation in this important area. You may recall from your time in Athens, students who are members of the editorial staff of the school's three journals—the Georgia Law Review, the Georgia Journal of International and Comparative Law and the Journal of Intellectual Property Law—enrich the intellectual atmosphere at the school by organizing conferences on timely subjects and advancing scholarly debate through the articles they publish. I am pleased to share that this spring the staff of the Georgia Law Review will release a digital companion journal—the Georgia Law Review Online—which will focus on current legal issues in the 11th Circuit.
Considered among the nation's best, our school's advocacy program has long been a source of pride. For the 2012-2013 academic year, two national championship trophies were added to the school's collection. Our students won the National First Amendment Moot Court Competition and took home both the first and second place titles at the Legal Ethics and Professionalism Moot Court Competition, where third-year student Scott F. McAfee was named the tournament's best oralist. Furthermore, we were finalists in both the National Moot Court Competition and the National Civil Rights and Liberties Moot Court Competition, where third-year students Michael
C. Gretchen and Emily A. Cook were selected best oralists, respectively. Our students prepared the best brief and finished in the top 16 at the American Bar Association National Appellate Advocacy Competition. We swept the Intrastate Moot Court Competition taking home first and second places overall as well as first and second awards for the best brief, and secondyear student Clayton O. "Clay" Knowles was named best oralist. This is the eighth consecutive year our students have won this statewide tournament. One last important victory for 2012-2013 includes besting the University of Florida in the return of the annual battle between our two schools in the renamed tournament— the Husley/Gambrell Moot Court Competition. Georgia Law students also represented the school well in national negotiation competitions. Key highlights include a top four finish at the ABA National Negotiation Competition and capturing first and second place as well as best draft honors in the southeastern regional round of the Transactional LawMeet. A few other noteworthy moments for our students include current third-year law student Kaitlin M. Ball being elected president of the International Law Students Association, which is a worldwide organization dedicated to educating students and lawyers across the globe on the importance of international law through academic conferences, publications, student chapters and the administration of the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition. Additionally, the student organization Street Law has played an instrumental role in training and developing youth volunteers for a fairly new juvenile justice forum—the Athens Peer Court—which is overseen by 2010 alumna Emily R. Boness. This court, which is designed for youth who have been charged with first-time offenses, received the Western Circuit Bar Association Liberty Bell Award in May. Identifying employment opportunities for our talented students and recent graduates continues to be a high priority. Our students seek openings around the country and in a variety of fields and settings. Being well acquainted with the quality of a Georgia Law education, if you are aware of an opportunity at your firm or company, please contact one of the law school's legal career services staff members—Director David P. O'Brien, Associate Director Adam B. Land (J.D.'08) or Associate Director Kristin Strunk Lowry (J.D.'07).
The 2012–2013 University of Georgia School of Law Annual Report
Dean's Report 2013 In an effort to provide better service to the legal community in finding top candidates for open positions, our career services team is increasing the school's employer outreach efforts with the goal of strengthening ties in relation to employment matters. I strongly encourage you to meet with our group and share your hiring objectives so that the career services staff can better assist you with your search. One tremendously high point on the hiring front is our school's record of success in preparing our graduates to perform in the most challenging and elite legal settings. Specifically, over the past five years, Georgia Law has averaged 26 federal judicial clerks per year. These students have clerked, or will clerk, for judges in the 4th, 5th, 6th, 9th, 11th and D.C. Circuits as well as the Federal Circuit. Moreover, they have served judges nationwide in districts such as the Southern District of New York; the District of the District of Columbia; the Eastern District of Virginia; and the Middle, Northern and Southern Districts of Georgia; among others. This, of course, includes our alumni success in serving our nation's highest court. Georgia Law 2011 alumnus Andrew A. Pinson is currently clerking for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. He is our sixth graduate to serve as a clerk at the U.S. Supreme Court in the last nine years. In addition to Justice Andrew Pinson (J.D.'11) is Georgia Law's sixth Thomas, other justices recently graduate to serve hiring Georgia Law graduates as a clerk at the U.S. include Chief Justice John G. Supreme Court in the last nine years. Roberts Jr., Justice Stephen G. Breyer and Justice John Paul Stevens. Furthermore, Andrew's service brings the total to 10 for Georgia Law alumni serving the U.S. Supreme Court. Another significant alumni appointment I want to mention is Valerie Caproni's recent confirmation as a U.S. District Court Judge for the Southern District of New York. This 1979 graduate formerly served as general counsel for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Closer to home, former U.S. Congressman George W. "Buddy" Darden III (J.D.'67) and U.S. District Court Judge Steve C. Jones (J.D.'87) were presented with the Law School Association's highest honor—the Distinguished Service Scroll Award—in June. This accolade recognizes outstanding dedication and service to the legal profession as well as to the law school.
Buddy has a reputation of being a public policy leader who has helped to solve issues at various levels including the local, state and federal governments. He currently serves as senior counsel at McKenna Long & Aldridge in Atlanta, where his practice focuses on public policy and 2013 Distinguished public finance. Previously, he Service Scroll Award was an adviser and lecturer on recipient—former U.S. Congressman Buddy behalf of the National Democratic Darden (J.D.'67) Institute for International Affairs and participated in programs concerning issues of national defense and ethics in Turkey, Senegal and Indonesia. He also served as a presidential appointee to the Board of Directors of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, a government agency that assists U.S. businesses in emerging markets and developing nations worldwide. For six terms starting in 1983, Buddy was a U.S. Representative for Georgia's 7th Congressional District, where he served on the House Armed Services Committee, the Interior and Insular Affairs Committee, the House Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct (ethics). In 2010, the State Bar of Georgia honored him with its Tradition of Excellence Award. In addition, he has served as a firm agent for the law school since 2009 and was a member of its Board of Visitors from 1999 to 2002. Steve has an exemplary record of service to the legal profession, the local community and the university. He was sworn in as a U.S. District Court judge for the Northern District of Georgia in March of 2011. Previously, he served for 16 years as a Superior Court judge for the Western 2013 Distinguished Judicial Circuit of Georgia, where Service Scroll Award he presided over the Western recipient—U.S. District Court Judge Judicial Circuit Felony Drug Steve Jones (J.D.'87) Court, and he was an AthensClarke County Municipal Court judge from 1992 to 1995 and an assistant district attorney for the Western Judicial Circuit from 1987 to 1991. Steve just completed his presidency of the UGA Alumni Association and has been a member of the law school's Board of Visitors, which he led in 2002-2003. He also has chaired the Georgia Judicial Qualifications Commission and the

Dean's Report 2013 Athens Area Community Foundation, and he served on the Supreme Court of Georgia's Commission on Equality and on its Domestic Violence Committee. Presently, he is a managing trustee of the UGA Foundation. He has received the Justice Robert Benham Award for Community Service, the Gate City Bar Association's Outstanding Jurist Award and Leadership Georgia's Threadgill Community Service Award, among others. Other university-related notable honors bestowed on Georgia Law alumni in the past year include Norman S. Fletcher (J.D.'58) receiving the UGA Alumni Association's 2013 Merit Award for his commitment to bettering the university. Jessica Langston McClellan (J.D.'03) was recognized by UGA's chapter of the Blue Key National Honor Society with its Young Alumnus Award for her professional leadership and civic contributions. Additionally, a campus resident hall was named in memory of the late Georgia Gov. George D. Busbee (LL.B.'52), who championed education during his time in office and established the statewide public kindergarten system.
in the honor roll listing appearing later in this Annual Report. For those of you who did not donate this past year, I encourage you to join your fellow classmates in investing in the next generation of legal professionals. Very good things are happening at your law school; please be a part of them. This past year, approximately $5.5 million in new gifts and pledges were made to the law school. Donations to the Law School Fund alone totaled more than $907,000, which represents an all-time record and roughly a 16 percent increase over last year. (The Law School Fund provides essential annual operating dollars that are primarily used to support student scholarships in addition to other studentrelated programming.) Notably, there were more than 400 Joseph Henry Lumpkin Society members this past year. (These donors contribute $1,000 or more annually to the law school.) And the graduating Class of 2013 made a legacy pledge of approximately $61,000 to the school. Later this academic year, we will unveil the portraits of Charles H. Kirbo (LL.B.'39) and Bruce W. Kirbo (J.D.'51)
I would like to take this opportunity to recognize the leaders of the law school's two alumni groups—the Board of Visitors and the Law School Association Council—for their time and service. They provide me and my team with valuable counsel and assistance as we strive to provide the finest legal education in America. Kathelen Amos continues to serve as chair of the BOV, while Alan F. Rothschild Jr. (J.D.'85) recently assumed the presidency of the LSA from Santhia L. Curtis (J.D.'91). Private donations from you, our alumni and friends, truly make a difference. With your support we are able to expand our academic and co-curricular programming—establish more experiential learning opportunities, add to our study and work abroad initiatives, fund our competition teams in the areas of advocacy and negotiation, support our journals as well as bring distinguished speakers and scholars to campus—improve our facilities, attract and retain professors who are leaders in their fields and, importantly, provide financial assistance to deserving students—approximately 50 percent of our student body currently receives merit scholarships. I am grateful to be able to acknowledge those of you who have financially contributed to the law school during the last fiscal year. Your name can be found 10

The 2012–2013 University of Georgia School of Law Annual Report
Dean's Report 2013 Georgia Law graduates) were the winners of the 4th Annual Firm and Corporation Alumni Challenge, which seeks to achieve 100 percent giving participation from Georgia Law graduates within an organization. For information on how your firm or corporation can compete in this year's challenge, please contact the law school's Director of Annual Giving Phyllis R. Cooke at email@example.com. The percentage of Georgia Law alumni who financially supported the law school last year was 21.5 percent. This figure is the highest among UGA schools and colleges; however, it is our goal to increase this participation level as the university develops a stronger culture of philanthropy, recognizing the growing need for private dollars as public funding continues to diminish. Moreover, this increased support will provide the additional margin of excellence we are seeking to achieve here at Georgia Law.
Director of Law School Advancement Gregory C. "Greg" Sowell (J.D.'83) continues to lead our team. Existing members Phyllis Cooke (annual giving director), Anne S. Moser (principal gifts officer) and Lara Pulliam (stewardship manager) have been joined by Sarah S. Baines who is our new major gifts officer (replacing Trina Steele Olidge (J.D.'97)), Katherine L. "Kate" O'Reilly who is our new alumni relations and development coordinator (replacing Suzanne Griffeth) and Julia B. Douglas who is our annual giving officer. Sarah comes to the law school with more than 12 years of fundraising experience, most recently in UGA's School of Public and International Affairs. Kate previously worked for seven years in development at the UGA College of Public Health. And Julia joined the university from the Darlington School in Rome, Ga., where she served in advancement and alumni roles. Please open your doors to this great group of individuals who want nothing more than to share with you what is happening at your law school and to seek your involvement. One other important aspect of my job as the dean of your law school is visiting you in the cities where you work and live. These trips over the past decade have enabled me to step outside of the law school and to learn more about the current needs of the legal profession. They also fill me with a tremendous sense of pride as I get to hear first-hand about all of the wonderful things you and your fellow alumni have been able to accomplish since leaving Athens. Furthermore, as previously referenced, I find your loyalty to and affection for Georgia Law inspiring. Thank you for welcoming me into your lives. It is truly a privilege to serve as the dean of the University of Georgia School of Law.

A Letter from the President It is an honor and privilege to serve as president of the Law School Association this year, the culmination of a 31-year relationship with Georgia Law. In the fall of 1982, the legendary Perry Sentell was my version of Scott Turow's Rudolph Perini, the cantankerous, quick-witted professor in the book One L, ensuring that if my 1L classmates and I survived his theatrical rite of passage, we might one day succeed in the profession. While, thankfully, few of my other professors provided the same daily dose of rhyme and panic as Professor Sentell, without the wisdom and inspiration of the Georgia Law faculty, including Julian McDonnell, Ron Ellington and, especially, Verner Chaffin, I would not be writing this letter today. Georgia Law not only provided me with an outstanding legal education, but it also
introduced me to future federal, state and local judges, elected officials and untold numbers of today's Super Lawyers, and it planted the seeds of lifelong friendships that continue to grow today as our children become friends and colleagues in Athens and beyond. Throughout this Annual Report, you will read about the accomplishments of our outstanding faculty, students and alumni, further evidencing the positive and enduring impact of Georgia Law on each of its graduates. Your support of, and participation in, the law school's annual fund will ensure that Georgia Law continues to attract the finest future lawyers for our state and gives each of them the same high quality experience that we enjoyed. Please join me in supporting our law school.

Georgia Law has completed phase three of its multiyear, multimillion dollar renovation, which has repurposed underutilized areas, addressed overcrowding and transformed the school's facilities into a place where the best and brightest students want to study the law.
Joseph Henry Lumpkin Society The School of Law is pleased to honor its annual contributors of $1,000 or more with membership in the Joseph Henry Lumpkin Society and greatly appreciates the commitment of these individuals to the continuous advancement of the quality of the law school. In 20122013, 409 generous alumni and friends were members of the Joseph Henry Lumpkin Society. Joseph Henry Lumpkin founded the University of Georgia School of Law in 1859, in collaboration with his son-in-law, Thomas R.R. Cobb, and colleague William Hope Hull. Classes were first taught in Lumpkin's law office at the corner of Prince Avenue and Pulaski Street in downtown Athens at what was then the Lumpkin Law School. Lumpkin, born in Oglethorpe County in 1799, was a distinguished lawyer and statesman. He graduated from Princeton in 1819, then "read law" under the tutelage of a practicing attorney. Lumpkin was admitted to the Georgia bar in 1820. Four years later, he was elected to a two-year term in the Georgia legislature and, in 1833, he helped frame the state penal code. In 1845, Lumpkin became the first chief justice of the Georgia Supreme Court and served continuously until his death in 1867. Join the Lumpkin Society and help sustain excellence at your law school. Please make your gift of $1,000 or more to the School of Law by June 30, 2014, and encourage several of your classmates and colleagues to follow your lead. With our 2013-2014 Joseph Henry Lumpkin Society donors, we can safeguard our position among the nation's finest law schools.

Scholarship Recipient Law School Fund Scholar "As overwhelming as it may seem, this scholarship serves as an anchor; one that will keep me rooted in my goals, my ambitions, and resolve. I made the decision to study law while I was in Cape Town, South Africa, as a member of Global LEAD's study abroad program. There we met with families that lived in the Sir Lowry's Pass Township, talked with former cellmates of Nelson Mandela while touring the infamous Robben Island prison and bungee jumped from the world's tallest bungee bridge. I saw with my own eyes the most incredible disparity imaginable, I learned about triumph against all odds via civil litigation from the men who lived it, and I took a leap of faith—quite literally. These experiences led me to determine that I want to affect change on a large scale. I chose law because I decided it was the best vehicle by which I could impact the world around me. Georgia Law is among the best in the nation and I am proud to be part of this prestigious institution. Therefore, I extend my deepest gratitude for the helping hand which supporters of the Law School Fund have lent me." Matt Bush (Class of 2016)

Graduates on Giving New Lumpkin Society Member "My three years at the UGA School of Law were undeniably the most important and energizing years of my adult life. Despite being a 'Yankee' I felt welcomed and at home shortly after my arrival in Athens. There is nothing like being a 1L, and facing the daily challenges with a group of smart, interesting, and dedicated people. The loss of my classmate and good friend Anne Dupre, one of the few truly remarkable people I have known, inspired me to step up my contributions to the law school. I could not think of a better way than donating to her scholarship fund. I am proud to carry the UGA torch back home in Michigan." Brian R. Balow (J.D.'88)

This is why I have donated to the Law School Fund for more than 30 years. How could I not give back to the institution that gave me such a good start?"

Scholarship Recipient Law School Fund Scholar "Thank you to the supporters of the Law School Fund. This scholarship has helped me with funding my legal education. I was inspired to attend law school by attorneys who practice in the county where I was raised – Habersham County. Attorneys have an influence on the lives of their clients and their adversaries. Law is a profession deserving of respect, and I plan to make a positive difference in the lives of people with whom I have the opportunity to work. I am currently a participant in the Prosecutorial Clinic at Georgia Law. I believe access to the justice system is essential to equality and differentiates our legal system from the rest of the world. Graduating from Georgia Law will empower me in being amongst the well-educated new attorneys in the state." Jessica Barrett (Class of 2014)

Scholarship Recipient Law School Fund Scholar "I have been a teacher for the past ten years and during that time I developed an interest in law. That interest derived, in part, from recognizing the varied needs of my students and from reflecting on ways that I could help people like them. I was, of course, concerned about the cost of going back to school and was uncertain about how I would be able to manage it. Your generosity in providing funds that led to this scholarship has made it possible for me to attend Georgia Law. I want to express my gratitude. I do not take for granted the value of this gift and I absolutely intend to make the most of it." Jonathan A. Weeks (Class of 2016)

"The education I received and friendships I developed at UGA law school have enhanced my professional career and personal life. It is our responsibility to provide others with similar opportunities and also to support our legal system by attracting the best students and making them the best lawyers. We need and are often called upon to give back—to church, community, educational and professional endeavors. I believe giving to Georgia Law meets several of our obligations and should be a top priority. The law school needs the financial support of its graduates to succeed in its mission."

Scholarship Recipient Law School Fund Scholar "The generous donations to the Law School Fund have enabled me to pursue my legal education at a wonderful school. For that, I cannot thank you enough. I chose the study of law after spending six years in the workforce as a contract manager for a lumber and construction company. I believe that studying law at Georgia Law will allow me to build on the foundation I created while in the private sector and to expand my career. I selected Georgia Law due to the opportunities provided by the school, not only on campus but also the extensive alumni network and the outstanding reputation of Georgia Law and its graduates. Thank you again for enabling me to become a part of this magnificent network." Crystal Huffman (Class of 2016)
"I have always been a strong believer in supporting institutions that have supported me, including the college and law school I attended. For more than 35 years, I have been the beneficiary of extraordinary support from the law school's library, which is one of the crown jewels of our institution and has been essential to my research and writing. My gifts to the library are just a small way of saying 'thank you.'"

Scholarship Recipient Law School Fund Scholar "Walking through the law school of my undergraduate institution in Seattle, I stopped to notice a wall recognizing financial contributors. Some well-known names included Bill Gates, Paul Allen, and Howard Shultz, but there were also hundreds of donors whom I have never heard of. I stopped to contemplate what personal stories each of these contributors had that compelled them to be so generous. I wish I could reach out to each of you that support the Law School Fund to personally thank you for your contribution, and I realize that a thank you can come in the form of giving back to the legal community once I graduate. Generous contributors such as you made Georgia Law what it is today and I couldn't be happier with my decision to come here all the way from Seattle." Christopher Kim (Class of 2016)

Scholarship Recipient Law School Fund Scholar "Thank you for making a legal education possible for me. I have wanted to alleviate the despair of others and be a 'problemsolver' as a lawyer ever since a family law attorney helped my mother pro-bono when we couldn't afford legal work, but couldn't afford not to have it. Furthermore, as a Floridian, I knew Georgia Law was my goal but felt it was financially unobtainable. Scholarships helped me become a first generation college graduate— but I felt I had run out of luck and had to abandon my career goals. I do not have a family of lawyers, and no roster spot on a law firm awaits me. So I thank you not only for the financial aid that makes this possible, but for your confidence that I will be a good investment for Georgia Law. A simple 'thank you' doesn't convey how grateful I am for your support; however, I assure you I will work diligently to prove you right." Colby Keefe (Class of 2016)

Scholarship Recipient Law School Fund Scholar "I would like to express my gratitude for your generosity that has enabled me to attend law school here at the University of Georgia. Without this scholarship I would have been unable to attend. Georgia Law was my first choice throughout the application process because of its excellent academic standing,and incredible faculty, staff, and student body. I knew that Georgia Law would be a good fit for me personally for two reasons. First, I knew it would promote the interpersonal aspect of the legal field. Secondly, Georgia Law's promotion of environmental law helped bring me here because it relates directly with my career choice. As an avid fly-fisherman, outdoorsman and backpacker, I have an affinity for nature and conservations. Although I may not practice in that field—I am considering going into contract law—I would like to have some involvement in the field of environmental law later on, even if it is on a strictly pro bono basis. Again, thank you for helping me attend this incredible school. I am immensely grateful." Jonathan Clark (Class of 2016)
The Class of 2016 possesses median academic credentials that make it one of the school's best – an undergraduate GPA of 3.69, which matches a school record, and a LSAT score of 163, which represents the top 10 percent of test takers worldwide. Statistics as of 8/15/13.

The 2012–2013 University of Georgia School of Law Annual Report
Firm & Corporation Alumni Challenge The School of Law is pleased to report on our Fourth Annual Firm & Corporation Alumni Challenge. During the 2012-2013 fiscal year, we had 96 law firms participate in the contest that consisted of a total of 1,145 alumni. Of these 1,145 graduates, there was a 54% participation rate as compared to an overall Georgia Law 25% alumni participation rate. Fifteen firms reached 100% participation! FY2012 – 2013 Trophy Holders Hulsey, Oliver & Mahar, LLP – 12 alumni – Julius M. Hulsey (J.D.'63) Brennan & Wasden, LLP – 6 alumni – Wiley A. Wasden (J.D.'84)
Firms with 5 or more Georgia Law alumni are eligible to participate in the challenge, which seeks to achieve 100% participation in giving from graduates in the firm. The law school and its development staff support the efforts of volunteers to secure annual contributions from their colleagues. The Firm and Corporation Alumni Challenge participants are grouped according to the number of Georgia Law alumni lawyers. The annual competition is for firm-wide participation, with Georgia Law alumni making a personal gift to the law school during the university's fiscal year, July 1 – June 30. Firms are divided into two groups. Firm and Corporation Alumni Challenge Categories: Category A – Organizations with more than 10 Georgia Law graduates Category B – Organizations with 5 – 10 Georgia Law graduates Challenge participants benefit by enhancing their visibility among our outstanding students, who are among our nation's best and brightest. Firms and corporations that achieve 100% participation receive special recognition, including: • Public recognition in the school's Annual Report and on the school's website. • First firm or corporation reaching 100% during the fiscal year will hold and display the school's Challenge Cup – an engraved silver-plated trophy – until the next fiscal year. • Each year, the school will engrave the year and winning firm or corporation name on the base of the Challenge Cup. All challenge participants benefit from a stronger and more highly ranked law school. Private support from alumni and friends is essential to the law school's ability to recruit top teachers and scholars, to offer a rich curriculum, to keep talented Georgia-resident students in our state and to attract talented students from other states. In short, the leadership of our alumni challenge volunteers provides the foundation for Georgia Law's continued excellence. Georgia Law alumni with the firms and corporations listed on the following pages are recognized for spearheading their organization's participation in the Firm & Corporation Alumni Challenge for fiscal year 2012–2013. 72

Why I Support Georgia Law I am proud to say that I am a Double Dawg, having graduated in 1978 from the University of Georgia with a degree in Political Science and then earned my law degree from the School of Law in 1982. Those days in Athens were the most formative in my life, as the University of Georgia was where I met Lisa, my wife of 31 years, where I made lifelong friendships that continue to this day and where I truly developed my leadership fundamentals and critical thinking that have served me well throughout my career in both the practice of law and in business. In a word, I am grateful to God that I am a Double Dawg! I am grateful for the administration at the time of my admission who, after keeping me on the wait list and at their door for several months, gave me a chance to earn my law degree where my father Graduates on Giving and older brother earned their degrees. Since I do have such a deep level of gratitude to the institution which equipped me so Leadership Donors well for life, Lisa and I want to try to make a difference in the lives of aspiring young people who may need a hand in life in order to achieve their dream of being a lawyer with a Georgia Law diploma hanging on their wall. That is why we have decided to support scholarships for deserving students who one day will help proudly carry the mantle of a graduate of the best law school in the land! Therefore, I sincerely hope that you will express your gratitude for what Georgia Law did for you and join me as a member of the "door holder committee," as we figuratively stand as alumni and open the front door to our cherished institution to future generations through scholarship support.
