Atlanta, January 24, 2025 –The Supreme Court of Georgia will hold its February oral arguments at the University of Georgia School of Law on Wednesday, Feb. 5.
“It is tradition for our Court to hold special sessions like this at Georgia law schools at least once a year so we can make the Court’s business and the judicial process more accessible to the public,” said Chief Justice Michael P. Boggs. “My colleagues and I hope that this upcoming session will allow the UGA community, in particular law students, to observe our Court in action and to better understand our role as the state’s highest appellate court.”
During this special session, the Court will hear appeals in three, separate cases—Cox-Ott et al. v. Barnes & Thornburg, LLP et al., S24G0739; The State v. Brantley, S25A0208; and Statham v. Quang et al., S24G0842. Oral arguments will begin at 10 a.m. Eastern, following a brief attorney admission ceremony.
“We are truly honored to welcome the Supreme Court of Georgia to the UGA campus,” said University of Georgia School of Law Dean Usha R. Rodrigues. “This event provides an extraordinary opportunity for our students to be able to experience the Court’s work firsthand. We deeply value the longstanding relationship between the Court and our law school and look forward to learning from a day of stimulating debate and thoughtful argumentation.”
The last time the Court convened at UGA was in October 2017.
The event will be live-streamed on the Court’s website.
Any media—print, digital, or broadcast—should submit a request form no later than 4 p.m. Eastern on Friday, Jan. 31. Any media or public inquiries about the Court or its proceedings may be directed to Public Information Officer Kathleen Joyner at joynerk@gasupreme.us.
