Mercer Law School’s Legacy of Service to the Profession
No full textHon. William Augustus Bootle, a 1925 graduate of Mercer Law School and 1924 graduate of Mercer University, penned of his alma mater, “[the] school was conceived in professionalism and dedicated to excellence.” Similarly, “Altruism, not the promotion of selfish aims, has been the inspiration of the [Georgia Bar] Association throughout its entire history.” As noted by Judge Bootle, Mercer Law School’s legacy of service to the profession began long before the establishment of the State Bar of Georgia as we know it today.
Today, Mercer Law School remains dedicated to serving the legal profession. This commitment to serve and devote time, efforts, and passion to the legal profession is exemplified through educating and mentoring the future generation and through service to the State Bar of Georgia and its local affiliates. In the words of one notable alumnus, “We all stand . . . on the shoulders of the people who came before [us]. Well, every lawyer . . . does that and I think we have an obligation to return that or pay it forward . . . .”
This Article explores the connection between the State Bar of Georgia and Mercer Law School. The Article also discusses Mercer Law School’s Woodruff Curriculum and its influence on the myriad of graduates who become professors, mentors, and leaders in service of the profession

Mercer 5: A probable new globular cluster in the Galactic bulge
No full textWe present a detailed study of a dust-obscured Galactic star cluster Mercer 5 ([MCM2005b] 5) in an extremely crowded field in the Milky Way. Near-infrared (near-IR) photometry from United Kingdom Infrared Digital Sky Surveys (UKIDSS) and the Son of ISAAC on the New Technology Telescope (SofI/NTT), combined with near-IR spectroscopy also from SofI, indicates that it is almost certainly a Galactic globular cluster, located at the edge of the Galactic bulge. The cluster suffers ~9 mag of visual extinction, with strong evidence for an extinction gradient across the cluster. A simulation of the differential reddening in the cluster using empirical data from NGC 6539 (chosen because it had high signal-to-noise ratio data and low field star contamination) as a template mimics the observations extremely well. This simulation and other arguments are used to indicate that the most prominent clump of stars in the colour-magnitude diagrams is a horizontal branch clump. On this basis we conclude that the cluster is at a distance of ~5.5kpc and suffers from visual extinction ranging from ~8.5 to ~12.5 mag. Alternative explanations for its nature, such as a young cluster or an old open cluster, are much less likely, on the grounds of no visible main sequence or stars with IR excesses for the former and location versus lifetime arguments for the latter. © 2011 The Authors Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society © 2011 RAS
