Larry Thompson to teach at UGA law school

Former deputy U.S. attorney general Larry Thompson, also the former U.S. attorney in Atlanta, will join the University of Georgia School of Law this fall.

Thompson, who was deputy U.S. attorney general under President George W. Bush and who recently announced his retirement from PepsiCo as senior vice president and general counsel, will teach courses in the areas of corporate law and white collar crime.

“To have someone with his experience and status on our faculty will benefit not only our students, but the law school and the university as a whole," UGA law school dean Rebecca Hanner White said.
