Ms. Cook assumed the crown after middle school teacher, Kristina Higgins, turned down the prize hours after winning it.
What the hell kind of state is Georgia where beauty pageant winners are teaching middle school and going to law school? Thank God I grew up on Long Island, it makes it much easier to concentrate.
Look Listen to Emily Cook explain the beauty craziness in her own words:
In the interview, she explains that she'll have to put off law school for a year -- because being Miss Georgia is a full time job! But after that, she's interested in business and corporate litigation. Apparently, she's been able to pay for two years of law school with her earnings from being pretty.
Congratulations, Emily Cook. And congratulations to the future UGA Law class of 2013. There are worse reasons to show up for torts class.

Indiana attorney Larry Wilder was honored with an ATL Lawyer of the Day mention last week thanks to the photo at right. It's not a stock photo. That's Wilder on a Wednesday morning, after a raucous night on the town.
That photo going viral has led Wilder to resign his lucrative job with the Jeffersonville City Council. Wilder had been the city's highest paid attorney -- raking in $107,000 from the city or four times that being made by the other five city attorneys -- in addition to his private practice work.
Larry Wilder, the embattled lawyer for the Jeffersonville City Council, has resigned following the release of photographs of him sleeping in a garbage can after a night of drinking.
"I felt that the best thing for my friends was to eliminate this as on-going angst," Wilder said.
Wilder may be freeing himself up for a case against the Jeffersonville City Police Department. The photos were taken by one officer and released to the news media by another officer, even though Wilder was never charged. But as one ATL commenter observed last week:
I finally understand why there's no reasonable expectation of privacy in one's trash.

Sometimes a judge will rule in a way that upsets you. Most lawyers know to keep their cool. But not Pennsylvania criminal defense lawyer Adam Rodgers.
Rodgers was annoyed that Judge Chris Wogan refused to lower his client's bail or reduce his client's sentence of prison time (which stemmed, ironically, from contempt charges). So Rodgers threw a tantrum. From the Philadelphia Daily News:
According to observers, the attorney, Adam J. Rodgers, threw a pen and his leather bag, pushed or hurled a chair, and raised a chair over his head, then slammed it down.
Rodgers then stormed out of Common Pleas Judge Chris R. Wogan's courtroom, repeatedly screaming "Bull----!" and yelling about the perceived injustice.
Luckily, the judge was out of the courtroom when all this transpired, so no contempt charges for Rodgers.
Rodgers was actually right about the "Bull----." Judge Wogan had his client mixed up with someone else. Post-tantrum, Wogan returned to the bench, lowered the bail from $50,000 to $15,000, and granted Rodgers's client parole.
Our Lawyer of the Day is appropriately named. From the sound of this story, this Indiana lawyer could probably hold down the name Larry Wildest.
The photo to the right is not a stock photo. That's Wilder on Wednesday morning after a raucous night on the town. From the Courier-Journal:
Conrad Embry, 80, the neighbor who called police, saw his garbage can on its side and someone lying in it when he took is dog out for a walk about 7 a.m.
"If I'd known it was Larry Wilder, I wouldn't have called the police," Embry said. He said Wilder "has been a wonderful neighbor."
In an interview Thursday, Wilder acknowledged he went out Tuesday night with a group of friends to celebrate after one of them passed a real-estate licensing exam, and that he had been drinking.
Passing a test is good, but going into real estate these days is a bit challenging. No wonder they got smashed. So how did Wilder get home and end up in the trash can?

In these tough economic times, I'm sure many people have been tempted to sightly exaggerate their credentials, experience, and competence.
But you shouldn't lie exaggerate to clients. At least not if you want to be a member of the bar in good standing. The National Law Journal reports that a former Pillsbury associate is getting his law license pulled for 60 days:
A former Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman associate who told clients that he was senior counsel at the law firm will have his license pulled for 60 days.
A District of Columbia attorney disciplinary committee has recommended that Garland H. Stillwell hand over his license for misrepresenting his employment status at the Washington firm.
But there were other aggravating circumstances to Stillwell's case:
The committee also found that Stillwell charged personal expenses to Pillsbury Winthrop's pro bono accounts and represented a client in a matter that created a potential conflict of interest within the firm without disclosing it or seeking a waiver.
Stillwell is not at Pillsbury anymore. That's hardly surprising.
But he is still employed at a law firm. Let's check-in after the jump.
Forgive my ignorance, but my understanding is that skydiving "accidents" result in fatalities. Always. Jumping out of a freaking plane should not be a survivable circumstance.
But that is apparently not the case. At least not for Kristin Adduci, a Buffalo lawyer at Lewis & Lewis. Fox reports:
The Orleans County sheriff's office says Kristin M. Adduci was knocked unconscious as she hit the ground around 10 p.m. Saturday at the Pine Hill Airport in Barre, which is about 30 miles east of Rochester.
Rochester Skydivers manager D.C. Cordaro says Adduci overshot her landing area by about 50 feet and came down hard in an adjoining field. Cordaro says the 33-year-old Buffalo lawyer broke her nose but was doing well Sunday, after being treated at a hospital.
She jumped out of a plane at night? Yeah, she's getting the "daredevil" trait when I create her character in The Sims 3.
After the jump, some more information about Adduci.
Have you heard the one about the law firm partner, the Girl Scout, and his Lexus? Well, here it is, but we warn that it's not very funny.
Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal partner Paul Glad is an experienced litigator, but he's going to need to ramp up his public relations skills in the months ahead. He has been hit with a lawsuit that is the definition of a PR nightmare.
A 7-year-old Girl Scout and her mother filed a lawsuit today against a litigation attorney who crashed his car into them outside a Burlingame grocery store, forcing doctors to amputate one of the woman's legs.
The driver, Paul Glad, 59, of San Mateo, was trying to park his Lexus near the entrance to the Mollie Stone's market on Chapin Avenue on March 8, authorities said.
Glad pulled to within a few feet of where a group of Girls Scouts was selling cookies on the sidewalk at the entrance of the store, the suit said.
Glad had good intentions. According to the San Mateo County Times, he had stopped to pick up some delicious Girl Scout cookies. But in his excitement to get his Samoa and Thin Mint fix, he neglected to shift his car into park. His Lexus then rolled into the cookie table. The car pinned Girl Scout mother, Holly Rogers, to a wall, causing her to lose her leg. Her daughter, then 6, suffered multiple leg fractures.
Did we mention that Glad had parked in a disabled spot? And that he was on prescription painkiller OxyContin on the day of the accident? Yeah... that's not the way one wants the cookie to crumble.
Glad did not comment to the mainstream media folk, but we got him on the phone last night. His response, after the jump.
We know many lawyers who agonize over the New Yorker magazine's weekly caption contest, desperately hoping to come up with a gnomic, witty caption worthy of selection. But we know of only one lawyer who has managed to come up with a winning caption three times. Let us introduce you to Larry Wood, an attorney at the Legal Assistance Foundation of Metropolitan Chicago.
Wood, who also teaches a housing and poverty law class at the University of Chicago, has won the weekly contest more often than anyone else. (A slight technicality: A man by the name of Carl Gable has won three times, but one of those was the New Yorker's annual contest, which has since been replaced by the weekly contests.)
Out of 38 submissions in the four-year history of the contest, Wood's made it to the finals three times. That's mighty impressive, given that he's competing against at least 5,000 other caption entries each week, reports Steve Johnson of the Chicago Tribune. So how'd he do it? Here's what he told us on the phone this morning:
Short is better. Incorporate everything that's in the cartoon. In one cartoon I was working with, there was a dolphin and a panhandler. So I thought of all the cliches I could think of about dolphins and about panhandlers. Dolphins are extremely intelligent, etc. Then I came up with the caption that won. My colleagues thought it was a mean-spirited joke for a poverty lawyer to make.
Maybe lawyers have advantages in the caption contests. As one friend of ours noted in response to Wood's advice, "incorporating all the elements into your answer is actually a skill lawyers are supposed to use in their bar exam essays (and law school tort exams)."
Check out Wood's winners, including the controversial caption, after the jump.
When you're hanging out at Chic-A-Boom Room in Dunedin, Florida, late on a Monday night, you need to be prepared for trouble. So discovered Florida patent attorney Louis Brunoforte this week. But only after taking a punch to the face from a feisty 45-year-old woman from Indiana.
As he headed to the restroom early Tuesday at the Chic-A-Boom Room, Louis Brunoforte left behind a Budweiser to mark his spot at the bar.
He returned to find someone sitting in his seat. A verbal dispute ensued and quickly escalated.
Words were exchanged, expletives were hurled and, finally, a punch was thrown, hitting the 6-foot, 240-pound Brunoforte right in the kisser.
Getting punched in the face, however, is not enough to warrant the honor of Lawyer of the Day. No, Brunoforte earned that honor by announcing to the Times that he plans to sue:
Brunoforte, 46, of Dunedin, is a lawyer and may proceed with a civil suit against Adams. He said he had back surgery in March and walks with the help of a cane and back brace. He wasn't injured by the shot from the 5-foot-8, 180-pound Adams, but said that fact isn't relevant.
"I was a boxer in high school so I guess I know how to take a punch," Brunoforte said. "But I could have fallen down, and with the serious back surgery I had that could have been problematic."
Oh, Bruno, for the sake of your self-respect, you should have stopped talking after "take a punch."
Brunoforte claims the Hoosier woman "threw a punch like a man would throw a punch." But rather than hit her back, his cool head prevailed. He started planning his civil suit against her and asked the bartender to call authorities.
We know many lawyers have "secret" other lives. Last night, we went to the surprisingly good debut performance of one of our legal friend's rock bands. Some legal types dabble in the visual arts. Some attorneys have a little prostitution gig on the side...
It's best if your extracurricular activities are not of the variety that push legal boundaries.
Hatim (Tim) Attalla, of counsel at Miller Canfield in Detroit, likes to spend his free time on a Harley with the Detroit Highwaymen Motorcycle Club. Nothing wrong with that. Lawyers and leather go together just fine.
But the love of the road, and his fellow bikers, allegedly led Attalla to stray from the straight path of the law. Now he's part of a 35-count federal court RICO indictment. From the Detroit News:
Hatim "Tim" Attalla is charged in the indictment with conspiracy to possess and distribute illegal drugs. It's alleged he advised arrested club members to keep quiet about former club vice-president Aref "Scarface" Nagi's involvement in drug dealing, supplied Nagi with a variety of pills, and acted "as general counsel to the enterprise."
Terrible timing. Attalla was named on Wednesday to the new Detroit mayor Dave Bing's crisis turnaround team. Yes, the mayor who was elected to replace philandering mass-texter Kwame Kilpatrick. Does Detroit exist just to make New Orleans feel better about itself?
More on the Highwaymen's general counsel of corruption, after the jump.
When we first got a tip that a Florida lawyer had been disbarred for making a client pay her fees with sexual favors, we thought, "Ho hum. Another crazy Florida lawyer." Then we Googled the pro boner attorney, James Harvey Tipler, and found out that the low-life lawyer has a sterling Stanford degree.
According to his Justia profile and his listing on the California Bar Association website, Tipler is a graduate of Yale University and Stanford Law School. We hope this doesn't make Stanford fall even lower in the U.S. News rankings.
Tipler is not the first Stanford Law graduate to get mixed up in sex work. But making an 18-year-old client pay for legal work on her parental custody case with sexual favors is a new low.
Tipler charged his client a fee of $2,300 and entered into a fee agreement with her that allowed a "credit of $200 for each time she engaged in sex with Respondent" and a "$400 credit if she arranged for other females to have sex with him." For his misdeeds, Tipler was charged with racketeering and four counts of prostitution. He ultimately pleaded guilty to one count of solicitation of prostitution.
Fellatio in exchange for filings was not Tipler's only offense. He's gotten into trouble in many other ways, and not just in Florida. He's got a record in California and Alabama, and we suspect he may be trying to set up shop in South Carolina now. More after the jump.
Times are tough, and sometimes those with JDs have to find sources of income beyond their legal pursuits. Sometimes they try to increase their cash flow through illegal pursuits. Such as prostitution. (This isn't the first time we've covered the phenomenon.)
Putting your life in the hands of a random John has bigger potential downsides than handing your body and mind over to Biglaw. From the Massachusetts Lawyer Weekly:
In a story similar to that of the so-called Craigslist killer, a Massachusetts lawyer claims she was the victim of an attack at knife point in Providence last week after placing an ad offering escort services.
A Providence Journal story states that Nina C. Baccala met William V. Lapierre after advertising escort services in the Providence Phoenix. When Lapierre allegedly tried to rob Baccala with a large kitchen knife, she reportedly fended him off with a chemical spray.
Baccala passed the Mass Bar last year and clerked for Superior Court Judge Raymond J. Brassard, says the Massachusetts Lawyer Weekly. She has a JD and an MBA, and still had to go the lady-of-the-night employment route. This economy really sucks. More on her background and how she fought off her attacker, after the jump.
We've all seen commercials where a company promises to meet a competitor's lowest price on an item. But a Long Island lawyer decided to put one of these guarantees to the test:
In its advertising, Sears vows to match competitors' prices, but one Long Island lawyer has been walking a long road of disillusionment after the retailer refused to live up to its promises. Back in 2007, when Warren Dank showed employees at a Hicksville Sears ad clippings from competitors selling a 46-inch flat-screen for as low as $2,400--$1,200 less than what Sears was charging for the exact same product--a manager refused to budge on the price. And so Dank found his life's calling: He drove around to three different Sears outlets in the metropolitan area and was denied the promised discount every time.
This is hero-lawyering at its best. Sure, the remedy might simply be more fine print at the bottom of the screen. And, fine, there could be costs associated with defending against this type of litigation that raises the price of televisions for all consumers. But hey, that's just more work for more lawyers.
Dank might be stimulating the legal economy, but of course, somebody is going to have to pay:
A lot of people are calling Dank a hero (okay, just us), and he might not disagree, telling the Post: "I'm doing this single-handedly. No one else pushed it this far to go on a crusade." UPDATE: Mr. Dank just emailed us with the following clarification: "Please set the record straight on your blog that the $100 and/or $300 million is to pay a class action settlement to all of the customers who were deceived and not to me."
That's the plaintiff's bar, hard at work baby! Companies shouldn't make promises they can't keep.
Deidre Dare was our Lawyer of the Day Weekend back in January. Judging from the traffic on that post, we assume most of you know her story. If not, here are the quick and dirty details:
And the firm, unwisely perhaps, revealed exactly why it fired her (instead of just silently including her in the 10% layoff sweep, which resulted in the booting of many in the Moscow office, including Deidre's Russian boyfriend). From a firm statement published by the Lawyer at the time:
Following our normal disciplinary process, we found that Ms Dare's behaviour - in publishing the material she did in the professional name under which she practises, and the way that she has responded to a number of reasonable requests from us since - was unacceptable and totally at odds with the standards of behaviour that we expect from all of our people.
We've therefore terminated her employment.
Well, Deidre e-mailed us this morning with an update on her situation:
I know how you all love to hate me, so I thought you'd be interested in the following news!
Obviously, Deidre doesn't know us well, if she thinks we would hate a lawyer-turned-porn-writer. We couldn't imagine much out there that we'd rather write about. While we wait for her to accept our Facebook friend request, we'll tell you a bit more about what Deidre's up to these days.
Hint: rather than legal memos, she's penning lines like, "I am a dirty girl. I am dirty in bed and I'm happy to be dirty anywhere else if the need arises."
While the NFL Draft is the premier sporting event going on this weekend, we aren't too far away from the Kentucky Derby. That means planning for all of the events surrounding the Derby is well under way. One of the most exclusive Kentucky Derby parties is being organized by a 26-year-old law clerk.
Chris Barnstable-Brown -- whom we mentioned briefly last year, back when he was still in law school -- is currently clerking for Judge Boyce F. Martin (6th Cir.), by day. By night (and on lunch breaks), he organizes the Barnstable Brown Gala, which is the place to be in Louisville on race day:
While it's known as one of Louisville's most star-studded Derby events (People magazine once listed it among the top parties in the nation), the Barnstable Brown Gala has been going on for 20 years now, long enough for an event to get stale and vulnerable to competition. Over the years, smaller, more accessible parties have sprung up and gained enough stature to pull in a few big names of their own.
Yet there's no sign that the gala will lose its top dog status anytime soon, in part thanks to Barnstable-Brown. He keeps his mother, gala co-hostess Tricia Barnstable Brown (Chris hyphenates his name, while Tricia does not), hip to the hottest celebrities of the moment and does what it takes to help get these stars to the party.
Mmm ... landed gentry.
Running an exclusive Derby party has given Barnstable-Brown a pretty impressive list of contacts:
Over the years, Barnstable-Brown has aided with efforts to lure hip-hop stars like P. Diddy, Jermaine Dupri, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels and Ludacris. His efforts are helping, bit by bit, to bring a more up-to-date edge to the gala, which has had, at times, relied on decidedly B-list stars to populate its guest list....
A football fanatic, Barnstable-Brown, a wide receiver on the football team during his high school days at St. Xavier, takes on the job of rounding up star athletes, too. NFL superstars like Tom Brady and Peyton Manning have also become regulars at the party. Last year, he helped seal the deal on getting football bad boy Terrell Owens, then with the Dallas Cowboys, to the gala.
But can he turn those names into clients? After the jump, the rich keep getting richer.
The mainstream news media have tuned into layoffs in the legal world. The essence of most of the MSM coverage is, "You know things are really bad when lawyers start getting fired." Thankfully, legal layoffs seem to have subsided somewhat, or at least not been so fast and furious as in months past. We welcome the respite and the chance to do the fun news: law revue contests, bad legal mamas, and gunners gone wild.
This week, The Atlantic spilled some ink for a legal firing of the political variety. Murray Waas has a piece on former Nevada U.S. Attorney Dan Bogden. The U.S. attorney firings are a story of yesteryear -- specifically, 2006 -- but there are still questions that have not been answered, including the reason why Bogden got the boot.
During his time as a U.S.A., Bogden got rave reviews from superiors at the DOJ. He has never received an adequate explanation for why he got pink slipped, even though the Inspector General devoted a whole chapter of its 358-page report on the firings to Bogden.
As noted by the WSJ Law Blog, the Atlantic article sheds a little light on the firing. Apparently, kids would have helped his job security:
"I'm concerned about Bogden," [Deputy attorney general Paul McNulty] told [AG AG chief of staff, D. Kyle Sampson] and a few other senior DOJ officials in the room. "... he's 50, hasn't had a job in [the] private sector, and what about his family."
According to Sampson's account, another senior official corrected McNulty: "He's a bachelor," the official said, "He's single."
As Sampson recalled to investigators, McNulty responded, "Okay never mind." McNulty, Sampson said, "then got up and left my office."
When questioned by investigators, McNulty did not disagree with Sampson's basic version of events. Having learned that Dan Bogden was a bachelor, McNulty recalled, "I guess I don't have any objection [anymore] to going forward."
We didn't know the detective from the Wire was working for the DOJ. Cool.
The article goes on to reveal that the screwed over fired U.S. attorneys have an informal little social club, holding reunions on a yearly basis. More on how U.S.A.s get wild, after the jump.

Richard Marinaccio was laid off from midsize firm Hodgson Russ LLP in Buffalo, New York, in January. While he was job searching, he may have spent his time constructively polishing his resume. And he may have spent some time playing board games. Both activities paid off.
In March, he both found a new job and casually surfed over to Hasbro's website and took a quiz on his Monopoly strategy. He did well on the quiz, moving to the next round, which involved writing essays on his strategy. He did well again, and qualified for an online game-playing session with 80 other players. He scored at the top and was one of 28 people to participate in Monopoly's national championships in Washington, D.C., last week.
He told us it was his first time participating in competitive Monopoly, though it's always been his favorite game to play with his family. The family game-playing sessions prepared him well and Monopoly money is turning into real money for the 26-year-old attorney. He won the championship, taking home a purse equivalent to a Monopoly bank: $20,580. Marinaccio will also go on to represent the U.S. in the Monopoly world championship in Las Vegas in October.
And he's not even a real estate attorney. He recently got a new job working as in-house counsel at a health care company.
He wasn't the only attorney trying to force people into bankruptcy. Ellis Baggs of Hunton & Williams also qualified for the national competition, though he was eliminated before having the chance to square off with Marinaccio.
Advance to Go. Collect $20,580. Congratulations on the new job, the Monopoly skills, and a place in the ATL Lawyer of the Day annals, Mr. Marinaccio.
Madlyn Primoff, a partner in the bankruptcy and business reorganization group at Kaye Scholer, left her two daughters by the side of the road in White Plains. According to the New York Daily News:
A prominent Park Avenue lawyer was arrested after cops said she got so angry at her young daughters that she kicked them out of her car - and drove off.
Madlyn Primoff apparently couldn't bear any more squabbling between her 10- and 12-year-old daughters Sunday and booted them out of the car in White Plains, Westchester County, authorities said.
A threat doesn't carry much weight if you're not willing to back it up, right? A tipster quips:
So maybe I won't apply to Kaye Scholer ... if their partners are this crazy.
But the 12-year-old demonstrated the dedication required of a future Kaye Scholer associate. She ran after her mother's car, caught up to it, and got back in. You can't stealth layoff that kid!
Unfortunately, the 10-year-old went to pieces:
The younger daughter wandered around the corner to Mamaroneck Ave., where a good Samaritan spotted her in tears about 7:30 p.m., bought her ice cream and then approached a cop in a patrol car.
The officer described the girl as "very upset" and "emotional" in the police report.
More discussion -- including information about Madlyn Primoff's $2 million home in Scarsdale, and a reader poll -- after the jump.
Back in January and in March, we reported on staff attorney layoffs at Skadden Arps. Apparently, there was one staff attorney who had his job (temporarily) saved by the amazing luck of being on the downed plane that made an emergency landing on the Hudson River on January 15.
In seat 24B as US Airways Flight 1549 fell silently toward the Hudson River, attorney Frank Scudere did not know that his name was on the list of lawyers that his firm planned to lay off the next morning.
Listen up Law School Revuers, this story lends itself to some kind of truly creative take on Lost. We'd suggest the title Laid-off Lawst.
Scudere, 48, went from plane crash survivor to Biglaw laid-off refugee in a period of under three months:
The [morning after the crash], he was in his Times Square office at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, one of 2,000 attorneys employed at one of the largest corporate law firms in the world, when whispers went around about layoffs. An attorney he didn't know called him and asked him to come down to a conference room. Before he went, he told another senior attorney, "Oh, man, this can't be happening. I was on that plane yesterday."
At the meeting, he was told he had been on the list to be laid off, but because he had been on the plane, he wouldn't be let go -- at least "not today."...
On March 26, a little more than two months after the US Airways drama, he was called down to the HR office and informed that his position was eliminated. "I was totally blindsided, because I had been told there would be no more layoffs," he said.
Skadden may have hoped the delay would help it avoid getting media attention. That hope was in vain. This does not come as a surprise to us. We reported extensively on the elimination of the staff attorney program at Skadden. We just hadn't realized a "celebrity" was among those for whom the bell tolled.
Scudere has some angry words for Skadden, after the jump.

How many associates out there feel like could run their firm better than the managing partner? In a private practice, such hubris will get you fired. In public office, you'll get the exact same pink slip:
Mark C. Hardman has worked as a Portsmouth assistant commonwealth's attorney for about five months, and he said Monday that he ha s been told to tie up loose ends on cases by Friday.
That is most likely because Hardman decided that he should be the boss, after only five months on the job:
A 27-year-old prosecutor in Portsmouth said he was fired because he plans to challenge incumbent Harvey Bryant for Virginia Beach commonwealth's attorney.
To quote the prophet Snoop Dogg: "This kind of [stuff] happens all the time, you gotta get yours, but fool I gotta get mine." Junior prosecutors often run for office against their current boss. The Albany, NY county D.A. -- who through a quirk in New York State politics pretty much has more power than any local D.A. in the country -- got his job in a similar fashion to what Hardman hopes to achieve.
But you have to hand it to those UVA kids don't you? A year and a half out of law school, five months into the job, and Hardman is already trying to take it to his two-term, 62-year-old boss.
Because Hardman's so young, he gave his superiors the perfect excuse for firing him:
Bill Prince, a spokesman for the Portsmouth commonwealth's attorney's office, said chief prosecutor Earle Mobley told Hardman that he wouldn't be able to do his job effectively while running for office.
"He's very much learning his craft and we don't think he could divide his time responsibly between campaigning and doing his job in Portsmouth," Prince said.
Sure. Getting your family and friends to plant yard signs and leaflet parked cars takes up so much time.
Good luck, Mr. Hardman. This isn't the best time to be looking for a law job, but maybe "winning" one really is your best bet.
The University of Georgia School of Law is about to get a new law student that will surely raise the humidity level in Athens. The recently crowned Miss Georgia, Emily Cook, will use her beauty contest winnings to go to UGA Law.
