Verdict

Many Georgia trial attorneys are struggling right now to keep their cases moving forward. Courts have encouraged litigants to be proactive, where possible, to prevent COVID-19 from slowing justice to a halt. However, as a practical reality, whichever party would prefer things go slow—more often than not the defendant—has the most leverage to control the pace of litigation.

New Lawyers Division

Despite the difficulties of this year, I have witnessed moments of patience and grace when interacting with my teachers, classmates, and colleagues alike. Since getting into law school, the legal community has been a source of encouragement and support without which I would not still be in law school. Each person I have interacted with this year are living in their own dystopian versions of life, happy to have more time with those in the home while struggling to separate out responsibilities and necessary down time. Regardless of what the new normal looks like, I look forward to experiencing it with you all as an attorney soon.
