The College of Law Turns 25: Celebrating Our Past … Building Our Future

The Georgia State University College of Law has brought much to the lives of its students, its faculty and the wider community. Yet its birth almost never happened, opening in 1982 after an eight-year odyssey of ups and downs, stopping and starting, pushing and pulling.

And look where we are today. Twenty-five years old. Bigger, better, more important than ever. Who would have thought?

Our 25^th Anniversary celebration will fill the 2007-08 year with academic and social events, a gala dinner, a very special speaker series, and more memories and stories than we have room to mention here.

Make our 25^th Anniversary celebration part of your plans this year. Check out our calendar of events and join us as we celebrate our past and build on our even brighter future.
