On behalf of the State Bar of Georgia, I am writing to extend congratulations and thanks to Charity Scott, founding director of the Center for Law, Health & Society at the Georgia State University College of Law, on the announcement of her retirement.

A member of the Georgia Bar since 1983, Ms. Scott started the health law program at Georgia State Law in 1987 and over the years has developed in into one that now offers an extensive array of cutting-edge health law courses. Through her joint faculty appointments in business and public health at the university, she developed dual degrees with these disciplines and created the first certificate program at the law school.
