Marjorie Girth
 Professor Marjorie Girth teaches a sequence of commercial law courses and the required course in professional responsibility at Georgia State University's College of Law in Atlanta. Marjorie’s scholarship has emphasized the systemic effects of implementing the nation’s bankruptcy laws for consumer debtors. Teaching legal ethics has also provided opportunities for studying the systemic effects of rules that have developed in the effort to establish appropriate ethical norms for American lawyers' behavior. Prof. Girth has written books and professional articles in both fields. She has also engaged in extensive professional service, including repeated appointments as a member of law school accreditation site teams on behalf of the Association of American Law Schools and the American Bar Association.
