Georgia Law Review
journal
The Georgia Law Review is the flagship publication of the University of Georgia School of Law. It was established in 1966 and is run by second- and third-year law students, operating independently from the School of Law faculty and administration.
History
Efforts to start a student-run law review at the University of Georgia go back to at least 1948 when two proposals were submitted but rejected by law school Dean J. Alton Hosch largely on financial grounds. Dean Hosch was dismissive of similar efforts in 1960 and 1963 citing his belief that there were already too many law reviews. Following Hosch's retirement in 1964, a successful effort to organize a law review was undertaken and the first issue was published in the Fall of 1966.
Notable people
Sally Yates, partner in multinational Global 30 firm, former acting United States Attorney General, served as the executive editor.
Andrew Pinson, Justice, state Supreme Court, was a law clerk to an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, was a former state Solicitor General, served as executive articles editor.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Georgia Law Review” as journal. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as journal. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15754054. 4 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1966, 1948, 1960 and 1963.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
