This is my legacy.

Ruth and Paul McLarty 63C 66L

Paul McLarty is retired senior partner of McLarty, Robinson & Van Voorhies, past president of the Emory Alumni Board, and recipient of the 2015 Emory Medal, the university’s highest honor.

The McLartys’ planned gift will fund need-based scholarships for Emory Law students.

“Through the Emory interns at my law office and the Emory Alumni Association, I and my wife have gained an awareness of the financial stress and the debt that can become their primary focus. We’ve seen students get accepted to Emory Law and choose to go to the University of Georgia or a state school instead. These are really good kids that you want to watch go across the stage at commencement. Student aid is something Emory Law has to take care of to be competitive and to deliver the type of education that it does.”
