We gathered with our graduates and their family and friends to celebrate their hard work and accomplishments on the afternoon of December 12, 2025. We wish them the very best as they move into the next chapter of their lives!

Alumna Sherrie Hines (2006 Franklin College , 2009 UGA Law School) has come full circle, joining The University of Georgia Law School in the spring of 2025 teaching courses in legal writing. 

We are SO proud to share that our incredible director, Dr. Sarah Shannon, has been honored with the Felton Jenkins, Jr. Hall of Fame Faculty Award at the University System of Georgia (USG) 21th annual Regents’ Scholarship Gala "The Sky's the Limit."

The Best Research Paper Award is given each year for the "Best Paper" written by a CJ graduate in the past calendar year. We request faculty to submit nominations for papers that are of outstanding quality. This year's recipient is Lindsey Vaca-Zamudio (Class of 2024).
