2023 Law School Orientations on Professionalism

2023 Law School Orientations Information

Each year, the Chief Justice’s Commission on Professionalism and the State Bar of Georgia Committee on Professionalism hold Law School Orientations at each of Georgia’s five law schools.  The orientations are designed to provide incoming 1Ls with their first introduction to professionalism.  Georgia lawyers and judges are invited to serve as “Group Leaders” during the orientations to help students learn the meaning of professionalism and why it is important for them as law students.

If you are a Group Leader and you did not receive the password via e-mail, please email kygrier@cjcpga.org.

Group Leaders, including Commission Member Adwoa Seymour, facilitate a professionalism discussion during a 2018 Law School Orientation on Professionalism
