The University of Georgia School of Law in Athens is honoring late Georgia House Speaker David Ralston by establishing a scholarship fund in his name.

The fund will supply support for scholarships, summer fellowships or Georgia leaders-in-residence at the law school in memory of Ralston, 68, who died in November. He was a 1980 graduate of the law school.
