Our mission is to complement and support existing legal service programs by providing assistance to people of modest means to get the legal services they need on a pro bono or reduced fee basis. We do this through the operation of a lawyer incubator program and a referral service. Read more below about the participants in our incubator program, Rob Divis who joined us in June and Trineice Hill who joined us in November. We are excited to have them as pioneers in this new way in middle Georgia to get a solo law practice started in a supportive setting. Our participants are provided office space, furniture, equipment, technology, and mentoring for a fee over an 18-month period. As a part of their participation in the program, they agree to provide 30 hours per month of pro bono or reduced fee legal services. Our referral service started in September.

  • Monday, Feb. 10, 2020 Magnolia Ballroom | 5 P.M
    The Honorable Cathy Cox Dean and Professor of Law, Mercer University Georgia’s 25th Secretary of State UserLEADERSHIP FORUM y Monday, Feb. 10, 2020 Magnolia Ballroom | 5 p.m. Cathy Cox was named dean of Mercer University School of Law, on July 1, 2017. She previously served as president of Young Harris College and Georgia’s secretary of state. A 1986 magna cum laude graduate of Mercer Law School, Cox is the first alumna to lead the School – other than on an interim basis – since William Augustus Bootle, who was dean from 1933 to 1937. Cox served as the 21st president of Young Harris from 2007 to 2017, leading its transition from a two-year college to a four-year institution and overseeing unprecedented growth. Prior to assuming the Young Harris presidency, Cox served two terms as Georgia’s secretary of state, and was the first woman in the state’s history to be elected to the post, first in 1998 and again in 2002. As secretary of state, she moved the largest division of her office from Atlanta to Macon and instituted a universal electronic voting system to improve the accuracy of the state’s elections, making Georgia the first American state to do so. A native of Bainbridge, Cox began her political career as a member of the Georgia House of Representatives, where from 1993 to 1996 she represented Miller, Seminole, Early and Decatur counties. Before being elected secretary of state, she served for two years as assistant secretary of state. She has remained an active member of the State Bar of Georgia, and, in 2011, was presented with the Traditions of Excellence Award for General Practice by the State Bar’s General Practice and Trial section.

  • A Taste for Justice Program
    Middle Georgia Justice A TASTE FOR JUSTICE THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2019 The Society Garden 2389 Ingleside Avenue Macon, GA 31204 5:30 pm to 10:00 pm PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Welcome to our first ever winetasting event, which we have aptly named A Taste For Justice! We hope it will be a fun event as we use it to raise money to fund our mission to close the justice gap in middle Georgia. Just imagine if we could find a way to assure every litigant in our courts had a lawyer or at least legal assistance in navigating the court process. So, enjoy the wine and beer tastings and camaraderie as you consider the benefits of increasing access to justice for our citizens. By helping people get the legal services and assistance they need, you improve the quality of life in our community through better processing and outcomes in court cases and through opportunities for people to overcome obstacles to employment, housing, and benefits. Perhaps even more importantly, by helping people get heard and get a fair shake from their government through the court system, you help our community move closer to our high ideals of equal justice under law and justice for all. Thank you for your support of this cause. Please help spread the word about what we are doing as we work with our legal community, the Macon Bar Association, Mercer Law School and Georgia Legal Services Program. If all goes well, we plan to make this an annual event, something people will look forward to each year, with the idea it will serve to remind our community that we all need to have a taste for justice.
