Vol. 51, No. 1 (1999) Annual Survey of Georgia Law

Editor's Note

The Mercer Law Review publishes the Annual Survey of Georgia Law to provide the legal community with a concise and pragmatic synthesis of recent developments in Georgia law. This fifty-first edition welcomes the reemergence of five topics for a total of fifteen survey articles and includes three special contributions. Both new and veteran authors have generously devoted their time, effort, and years of experience to provide an analysis of Georgia case law and legislation during the survey period from June 1, 1998, to May 31, 1999. We are confident that these articles will prove to be both informative and useful to the judges, practitioners, academics, and students of law who form our readership.

With particular regret, the Mercer Law Review bids farewell to our most long-standing contributor, Professor James C. Rehberg, as he retires from the authorship of the "Wills, Trusts, and Administration of Estates" survey article. In recognition of his devotion to the Mercer Law Review for almost fifty years, we dedicate this year's Survey to Professor Rehberg.

The editorial board and members of the Mercer Law Review express out sincerest appreciation to each author for their dedicated effort and unselfish contribution to this publication.

Finally, I wish to extend a warm "thanks" to the members and staff of the Mercer Law Review who have worked tirelessly to publish an effective Survey.
