The new lawyers were then introduced to various alumni initiatives including the Graduate Health Network by James R. Westbury ('94), the Intellectual Property Law Initiative by Jeff Kuester ('93), the Oglethorpe Legal Society by James Hurt Jr. ('03) and the Cobb County Alumni Group by Michael Manely ('89).
