Extract

It was a privilege to attend the symposium Defining Health Law for the Future, and join with so many of Georgia State University College of Law Professor Emerita Charity Scott’s colleagues and friends, supporters, former students, mentees, and presenters. It was a symposium that fittingly served as a tribute to Charity and the remarkable impact she had on the many communities she touched. To the Harrell/Scott family — thank you so much for helping us celebrate Charity and her work.

The HeLP Legal Services Clinic was created to be a HeLP offspring with the added responsibility of serving as a teaching clinic in which enrolled students at Georgia State Law would be authorized to represent HeLP clients under faculty supervision. The cases used in the HeLP Clinic would be referred from the Health Law Partnership at Children’s, which would screen for cases well suited for a law school clinic.Google Scholar
Sylvia Caley, a friend and colleague, worked closely with Charity over many years to bring this project to fruition. Sylvia was a Georgia State law student at the outset and began work on the project while serving as Charity’s’ graduate research assistant. In the years following graduation, Sylvia became a staff attorney at Atlanta Legal Aid while also continuing to spread the word about medical-legal partnerships. In or about 2005 Georgia State Law hired Sylvia as a clinical professor to further develop opportunities in this area.Google Scholar
