Lawyers Gain from Georgia's Water Issues
Unless you have avoided reading anything related the news altogether, you know that Georgia has serious water issues. Shortly after the multi-year drought ended, in July 2008, U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson declared that Georgia water withdrawals from Lake Lanier were illegal. Furthermore, if Alabama, Florida, and Georgia cannot reach an agreement about sharing the Chattahoochee River system, under Judge Magnuson’s order, Georgia water withdrawals from the Lake would have to revert to levels not seen since the mid-1970s.

Hello, everyone. This is my initial blog for the fall 2009 semester. I know that as law students we are very busy reading cases for class and writing legal memos on a range of topics. My goal for this blog is to hopefully keep you updated on current legal issues and practice areas locally.
Some recent developments for the last two weeks include a lawsuit against a Marietta based pharmaceutical company and an analysis of Chapter 7 bankruptcy filings in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Georgia.
