Paul M. Kurtz was recently honored with the naming of a premier scholarship bearing his name at the University of Georgia School of Law. The Kurtz Distinguished Law Fellowship is a merit-based fellowship for students with strong academic records and a passion for supporting the survivors of child sexual abuse and exploitation. Joey M. Loudermilk, who established the scholarship with his wife Ramona, chose to honor Kurtz for the experiences he shared with him as his law school professor.

On the fellowship, Kurtz said, “I want to thank the Loudermilks from the bottom of my heart for creating this fellowship. Joey and I go back to the very beginning of my law school teaching career. He was an outstanding student and has long been a dear friend. The School of Law has been one of the most important institutions in my life, and I am thrilled to continue to be associated with it in this very special way.”
