A Georgia Bar member since 1958, Mr. Seiler practiced law at Bouhan, Williams and Levy, now Bouhan Falligant, specializing in civil defense and plaintiff work. In addition to his distinguished legal career, Mr. Seiler was president of the University of Georgia National Alumni Association and was known throughout the state and the world of college athletics as owner of the generational line of English bulldogs that served as UGA’s beloved mascot, Uga.
