Dear alumni, alumnae and friends,

 

The University of Georgia School of Law is redefining what it means to be a great national public law school – offering a world-class, hands-on, purpose-driven educational experience while never surrendering our commitment to accessibility.


Throughout 2022, the law school saw many successes, including:

  • Posting the #1 employment rate in the nation, with more than 97% of the Class of 2021 securing full-time, long-term jobs that require bar passage or where a J.D. provides an advantage
  • Enrolling the most academically credentialed J.D. class in history
  • Boasting an Ultimate Bar Passage rate of 97.7% for the Class of 2020
  • Continued recognition as one of the best returns on investment in legal education in the nation
  • 100% of military veterans and first-generation college graduates currently enrolled receive scholarship aid
  • Funding for summer public interest fellowships has increased 450% over the last five years
  • More than 435 law students engaged in more than 94,000 service-learning hours during the 2021-22 academic year
  • For the ninth straight year, UGA graduates lead the state in the Georgia bar exam passage rate

A main driver of our success is the investment members of the law school community – faculty, staff, students, graduates and friends – continue to make in the School of Law. In that spirit, I share with you the 2022 Dean’s Report, which offers a glimpse into the lives and experiences of some of our current Law Dawgs.
