The June Issue

Thank you for picking up or clicking on the June edition of the Georgia Bar Journal. Here's a few highlights from this issue:

Two State Bar of Georgia leaders are saying "goodbye" in this edition: Bar President Elizabeth L. Fite and YLD President Elissa B. Haynes. In her article "Continue to #KnowYourBar," Fite revisits her yearlong campaign to increase awareness of the State Bar of Georgia's great services and benefits. She focuses on such groups as the Law Practice Management Program, the Transition Into Law Practice Program, the Client Assistance Program and the Lawyer Assistance Program. In "Lessons in Leadership," Haynes paints a very candid picture of what her life has been like for the past 12 months. She shares lessons that she learned as the 75th president of the YLD and thanks those who helped her navigate the past year.

Our legal article for this issue is "It's Your Copy, Right? Understanding the Legal Protections for Your Creative Genius" by Derrick Alexander Pope. The article highlights the legal protections given to authors and other creators of original works through federal copyright laws. Pope also outlines the basic rights protected and explains the various limitations and remedies associated with any copyright infringement.
