50 Years of Clinical and Experiential Learning at Georgia Law

This note serves as an introduction of the partnership between the Georgia Law Review Online Platform and the School of Law\u27s Clinical Programs and Experiential Learning faculty to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of clinical legal education at the University of Georgia\u27s law school. It provides a brief history of the program beginnings in 1967 and discusses the program expansions to present which reached a total of 18 different options when the note was published

Lanier\u27s Daily Haiku Series, Spring 2020

Originally shared in the University of Georgia School of Law\u27s 6 Feet Together section of the school website portal, Dean Eleanor Lanier created a slide image with a haiku on a near daily basis for law students at a distance. These haiku\u27s were published between March 30th and May 15 of 2020. The final haiku was dedicated to the May 2020 graduating class. Image files have been combined into a single PDF for this archival record

Flying Without Wings

Because of Georgia’s unique court structure and political challenges, state advocates were unable to secure funding for a spot in the WINGS nest. But there is good news. The bonds we forged over our many years of advocacy on guardianship issues, and our effort to pull together the (unsuccessful) WINGS application, helped a few of our ideas take flight. This article highlights one highly successful and easily replicable effort that can be undertaken for a local court, in a region or at the state level, depending on resources and interest

Understanding the Gap Between Law and Practice: Barriers and Alternatives to Tailoring Adult Guardianship Orders

An overwhelming majority of state laws governing adult guardianship require an inquiry into whether less restrictive alternatives may be available/appropriate and, where guardianship is necessary, that guardianship orders be designed to maximize theindependence of the person subject to the guardianship. However, the best available data indicates that most guardianship orders are plenary, removing rights on a wholesale basis rather than individually tailoring the guardianship. To many observers, the imposition of plenary guardianship contradicts the unambiguous statutory language in most states favoring a tailored approach that implements guardianships to maximize an individual\u27s independence and autonomy. The literature is rife with examples and critiques of the overuse of plenary orders, and other articles have focused on the need to limit or tailor guardianship to address the functional capacity of the person who is purportedly in need of protection and assistance. The purpose of this article is to identify, examine, and better understand existing legal and practical barriers to limited guardianship and to explore and recommend possible alternatives. It falls into the broad category of a second-generation gap study; in that it seeks to compare law in action with the perceived objectives of law on the books. The article will first provide a framework for the language of guardianship and then discuss current statutory and case law governing limited guardianship and will address attendant legal barriers. Next, the article will review the data on actual practice and explore the reasons for the gap between law and practice and the feasibility of tailoring guardianship orders. Finally, the article will recommend extrajudicial alternatives to achieve the goal of maximizing independence for adults who need assistance with personal and financial decision making

Adult Guardianship in Georgia: Are the Rights of Proposed Wards Being Protected? Can We Tell?

National scrutiny of guardianship policies and practice by scholars and legal, health, and social service practitioners followed. This resulted in a succession of forums, studies, and recommendations aimed at improving the guardianship system. One such forum was the Wingspread conference, convened by the American Bar Association (ABA) in 1988. Experts from a variety of fields met to produce a groundbreaking set of recommendations for reforming guardianship. Wingspan, a second national guardianship conference addressing reform issues in 2001, produced in a second series of recommendations. The recommendations from these two conferences proposed greater protection for the proposed ward\u27s liberty interests and right to self-determination, to the extent possible that it is consistent with one\u27s functional abilities. The recommendations also point to the need for zealous advocacy by counsel on behalf of the proposed ward. The National Commissioners on Uniform State Laws in the Uniform Guardianship and Protective Proceedings Act (UGPPA) incorporated these and other recommendations, and a majority of states revised their statutes to implement many of these recommendations. Against this backdrop, guardianship reform also began in Georgia. This article recounts Georgia\u27s reform efforts and examines the current guardianship code and practice in light of the considerable constitutional and policy interests at stake. For the latter, we rely upon information gathered in two statewide guardianship surveys examining guardianship files from 1994 and 2000

A Time Lord, a Timeline and Legal Instruction

From online embeds to interactive displays, timelines can serve many purposes and tell powerful stories. In this session librarians team up with an archivist and a clinician to bring history to life, engage students, and preserve the scholarly and institutional milestones. A variety of tools for creating digital timelines and gathering content will be shared including TikiToki, TimeToast, and Piktochart. Comparisons will be given based on cost, technical limitations, collaborative potential, and general ease of use. Potential applications for timelines will also be shared in the form of examples including: a TimeToast embedded timeline tribute for individual faculty scholarship as a part of research guides a TikiToki multi-media timeline celebrating the growth of clinical and experiential learning programs over the course of 50 years a Piktochart timeline for classroom slides or printed display illustrating a series of significant trials Time permitting, a live demo will guide attendees through the creation of a timeline with one of the tools. This session will be of interest to technologists, librarians and faculty alike. Attendees will walk away with an overview of the tools available for making timelines, ideas for how they could be used for instructional purposes, and a guide including examples and resources

Economics of Agriculture: Reports and Publications Issued or Sponsored by USDA's Economic Research Service, July 1970-June 1971

Excerpts from the Preface: Supplement No. 3 to ERS-368 lists research publications produced or sponsored by the Economic Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, on agricultural economics and related socioeconomic studies during July 1970 through June 1971.

Articles in technical and professional journals, both within and outside the Department, are cited as well as proceedings of symposia and conferences which report important ERS research results. Publications are grouped by subject-matter areas and by ERS divisions responsible for research in such areas. Within each subject area, bibliographic entries are arranged alphabetically by author; entries without author are arranged alphabetically by title after the author listings. Articles by the same author are entered chronologically by date of publication
