By: Representative Smith of the 18th
A RESOLUTION
Honoring and recognizing the Atlanta's John Marshall Law School Law Journal; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, on April 2, 2026, a group of Atlanta's John Marshall Law School Law Journal students visited the state capitol at the invitation of Representative Tyler Paul Smith; and
WHEREAS, Atlanta's John Marshall Law School was founded in 1933 as an independent, freestanding educational institution dedicated to providing a quality educational opportunity to non-traditional or adult learners and to other significantly underserved segments of Georgia's citizenry; and
WHEREAS, the John Marshall Law Journal is an annual legal periodical consisting of contributed Articles, Student Notes and Comments, and Legislative Summaries. The featured articles focus on a single, timely area of state, federal, or international law, while Student Notes and Comments cover a wider variety of other jurisprudence. The Legislative Summaries are concise, detailed descriptions of pending or recently enacted Georgia legislation and the effects that said legislation will have on the Georgia community. In the spring, the journal hosts a symposium at which the authors of the published pieces in the Spring issue, panelists, and attendees examine recent and pending legislation, significant court decisions, student commentary, and contributions by preeminent Georgia scholars and practitioners; and
WHEREAS, the annual symposium of the John Marshall Law Journal is a Continuing Legal Education (CLE) event as well, for which the law journal applies to the State Bar of Georgia annually for approval of CLE credits to be earned by attendees. As a service to the Georgia Bar and the legal community of the state, the law journal charges no tuition for attendance at the CLE event. Typically, the event is approved for six hours of Georgia CLE, including one hour of ethics; and
WHEREAS, the journal is led by an elected Editorial Board guided by a Faculty Advisor. Second, third, and fourth-year students from the full-time and part-time JD Program staff the journal and receive invitations to join based on their academic success and writing skills. The journal provides each member with additional educational opportunities by promoting excellence in research, writing, and analytical skills. Journal staff members work cooperatively with authors to further the journal's mission by creating, editing, and publishing each issue; and
WHEREAS, the John Marshall Law Journal Members, Volume XIX, 2025-2026, include the following: Madeline Townsend, Austin Cauffman, David Smith, Boz DelMundo, Jack Landers, Chloe Strickland-Teems, Lee Lundy, Jory Peppelaar, Grace Vigar, and Christopher Peters.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body honor and recognize the Atlanta's John Marshall Law School Law Journal upon its recent visit to the state capitol for its many outstanding contributions of legal scholarship as well as extend sincere best wishes for continued success. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to the public and the press.
