More than 40 former law clerks of the late Judge Phyllis Kravitch of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit have funded a scholarship in her honor at the University of Georgia School of Law.

“This scholarship truly represents the heart of the law school community,” UGA law Dean Peter B. “Bo” Rutledge said in a news release Wednesday. “For so many of Judge Kravitch’s former clerks to want to memorialize this trailblazing Georgian in this manner is tremendous. Judge Kravitch may have entered the practice of law at a time when her talents were not overly appreciated or recognized, but she left the profession at the top with an impeccable 70-year-plus record of legal service, forging new paths for women and those of Jewish faith.”
