Law school appoints three professors to endowed positions
By Heidi Murphy

The School of Law has appointed two current faculty members to endowed positions. Sarajane N. Love will be the first holder of the Verner F. Chaffin Professorship of Fiduciary Law, and Edward J. Larson has been named to the Herman E. Talmadge Chair of Law. In addition, the school has appointed Daniel M. Bodansky to fill its Emily and Ernest Woodruff Chair in International Law.
A faculty member since 1984, Love specializes in trusts and estates and also teaches courses on federal pension regulation and women and the law. Her recent scholarship includes two books, Redfearn’s Wills and Administration in Georgia and Comparative Treatment Edition of Redfearn, Wills and Administration in Georgia. Love graduated first in her class from the law school in 1973 and earned her bachelor’s degree from Emory University.
Dean David E. Shipley says Love is the perfect person to be the inaugural holder of the Chaffin professorship. “Sarajane’s growing reputation in the area of fiduciary law makes her an ideal candidate for this position. There is no doubt that she will set a high standard for future holders of the Chaffin chair.”
The professorship was established by Ethel T. Chaffin to honor her husband, Verner F. Chaffin, Fuller E. Callaway Professor Emeritus, who taught at the law school from 1957 to 1989. Chaffin had a distinguished career at the university and remains involved with the law school and the broader legal community, including the State Bar of Georgia.
“We are grateful for this continued support from the Chaffins and our other friends and alumni,” Shipley says. “Privately funded chairs and professorships enable the School of Law to attract and retain some of the nation’s best scholars and teachers for our students. Another example of this is Ed Larson. To have someone with his national and international reputation at our school is essential to maintain our position as one of the top public law schools in the United States.”
The recipient of the 1998 Pulitzer Prize in history, Larson, who has a joint appointment at the law school and history department, is one of only two UGA professors to hold two endowed positions simultaneously. He also is the Richard B. Russell Professor of American History.
Specializing in the law of biotechnology and health care, Larson joined the university in 1987. In the law school, he teaches courses on health care financing and science law in addition to property law.
Along with several law review articles published this year on the topics of disability rights and Constitutional law, his recent scholarship includes the books Summer for the Gods: The Scopes Trial and America’s Continuing Debate over Science and Religion and Evolution’s Workshop: God and Science in the Galapagos Islands. He earned his law degree from Harvard and his Ph.D. in the history of science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The Talmadge Chair was established in 1979. It honors the late Herman E. Talmadge, a 1936 graduate of the School of Law, who served Georgia both as governor and U.S. senator.
Bodansky, who is internationally recognized as a premier authority on global climate control, will teach public international law, international environmental law, and foreign affairs and the Constitution. Most recently from the University of Washington, he has served as climate control change coordinator and attorney adviser for the U.S. Department of State. Bodansky also has been a consultant to the United Nations in the areas of climate change and trade and development.
Bodansky’s scholarship includes more than 21 publications, four book reviews and 24 papers and presentations. He received his J.D. from Yale University in 1984, his master’s degree from Cambridge University in 1981 and his bachelor’s from Harvard in 1979.
The only previous permanent holder of the Woodruff Chair was Louis B. Sohn, who retired in 1993. The chair was created by Emily and Ernest Woodruff to attract to the faculty of the Dean Rusk Center--International, Comparative and Graduate Legal Studies scholars and statesmen of international rank who can carry on the significant work of the late Dean Rusk. |
