Engaged Community
Interaction with distinguished faculty and talented peers in an outstanding educational environment ensures that the legal education received at the School of Law is
second to none.
Expert Faculty

Experiential Learning
94% of the class of 2023 took advantage of our 18 unique clinical and experiential learning programs, honing essential legal skills through hands-on service learning.
Mentorship Program
The School of Law is proud to offer a unique mentorship program to match all of our students with a four-person mentorship team to provide the guidance and support they need during their three years here, and beyond.
Student Organizations
Our students can join one of the 40 student organizations on campus ranging from the First Generation Student Association to the Davenport-Benham Black Law Students Association to the UGA OUTLaws.
First Generation and Military Students
First-generation college graduates at the law school have access to our First Start Coordinator to act as a guide. We also offer scholarships targeted to Veterans, and provide access to the UGA Student Veterans Resource Center.
“UGA’s community is home to some of the most supportive, intentional individuals I have ever known. I have never once felt out of place so I hoped that characteristic would also be present in the law school community. I can confirm that my expectations were surpassed and confidently say that I would not have wanted to go to school anywhere else.”
– Antavious McCarden, current student
