UGA LAW STUDENTS AWARDED PRESTIGIOUS JUDICIAL CLERKSHIPS

Athens, Ga. - Twelve members of the University of Georgia School of Law's Class of 2001 have been named to prestigious federal judicial clerkships, and will begin working with the judges after their graduation in May 2001.

Associate Professor Richard Nagareda, chair of the Faculty Subcommittee on Judicial Clerkships, calls the clerks "wonderful ambassadors" of the law school to the leading judges in the country. "The clerkship application process is becoming increasingly competitive," said Nagareda. "But our students have continued to secure these prestigious positions. In fact, we regularly hear from judges that our students often are better prepared for the 'hands-on' legal work of a clerkship than students from the top private law schools in the land. That is a tremendous credit to our faculty and something that will contribute to the continued success of UGA clerkship applicants in the future."
