Presented by the State Bar of Georgia Institute of Continuing Legal Education

Under Georgia law, there is no liability for an injury or death of an individual entering State Bar of Georgia premises, or premises occupied or leased by the State Bar of Georgia if such injury or death results from the inherent risks of contracting COVID-19. Attendees and guests are assuming this risk by entering such premises. Any person entering the premises waives all civil liability against the State Bar of Georgia for any injuries caused by the inherent risk associated with contracting COVID-19 at public gatherings, except for gross negligence, willful and wanton misconduct, reckless infliction of harm, or intentional infliction of harm, by the State Bar of Georgia.
