Emory University School of Law received a $6 million gift from William J. “Bill” Carney, the largest in the school's history. Emory will use the donation to create the William and Jane Carney Center for Business and Transactional Law. Carney, who taught law at Emory for 34 years before retiring in 2012, also led the founding of the Center for Transactional Law and Practice in 2007 and provided a matching gift of $1 million in 2015 to strengthen its work.

GAPABA Law Foundation Donor Appreciation Reception PHOTO ALBUM: https://lnkd.in/ejZMNa4C On Wed, Oct. 16, 2024, the GAPABA Law Foundation held our Inaugural #Donor #Appreciation #Reception at Norfolk Southern's headquarters to thank the generosity of our supporters. The evening was also an occasion to recognize our eight non-profit grant recipients, as well as the five law students who received the GLF Hemanth Digumarthi Public Interest Scholarships. Nearly 50 gathered , informally noshing on pizza and beer, while celebrating the tremendous work of Georgia's non-profit organizations whose work benefits our #AAPI and immigrant communities. We also listened to several of the law students who shared how they spent their summer internships. Many of the grant recipients and scholars found tremendous fellowship and affinity with one another, sparking and incubating conversations for future collaborative work. In the words of Judge Alvin T. Wong (unfortunately able to join the evening): "Work Hard. Do Good. Give More!" Our work would not be possible without the generosity of our Donors: The Digumarthi & Harrykissoon Harrykissoon Families, Southern Company Gas Foundation, Georgia Power Company Foundation, the John & Rosemary Brown Foundation, the UPS Foundation, Theresa Wynn Roseborough, and so many other individual donors. The Eight 2024 GLF Non-Profit Grant Recipients: Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Atlanta | ANGKOR RESOURCE CENTER | Asian American Voices for Education (AAVED) | Georgia Asylum & Immigration Network (GAIN) | Laotian American Society | Raksha, Inc | Sur Legal Collaborative | 85 Community Development Corporation The Five 2024 GLF "Diggy" Scholars: Jeanie Kim | Sky Li | Bethlehem Makonnen | Aurum H.
