Start of Research on Woodrow Wilson College of Law (WWCoL)
Oglethorpe University is the official custodian of the Woodrow Wilson College of Law transcripts as of December 15, 1987. The only service that Oglethorpe University provides with regard to the Woodrow Wilson College of Law is reproduction of transcripts.

The Woodrow Wilson College of Law is no longer in operation, and was never a part of Oglethorpe University. The Woodrow Wilson College of Law was located at 830 West Peachtree Street, N.W., Atlanta, GA 30308. Oglethorpe University has no record of any remaining authenticated copies of the College’s bulletins, course catalogues, or course syllabi. Oglethorpe University is not the custodian for any other outside school records, except for the Woodrow Wilson College of Law.

There was, during the late 70s and early 80s, some discussion about all the assets (and students) of WWCoL being transferred to the then-newly forming Georgia State University College of Law, but the idea fell through because WWCoL was not accredited by the ABA, and such a transfer would jepordize/delay GSUCoL's accrediation process.

Material added by anonymous editor:
Summary of events: Georgia State University was originally established in 1913 as an evening school for Georgia Tech. By 1953, they gained complete independence and, by 1969, fulfilled their mission to provide high quality programs to the Atlanta metro area... paying close attention to the needs of the area, especially working students and students with family. Providing degrees in business, liberal arts, education and other fields, they were lacking the discipline of legal education. In 1974, the Board of Regents studied and approved the establishment of a GSU Law school but it was never funded.

The Woodrow Wilson College of Law was a private, non-profit Law School fully accredited by the Georgia Supreme Court. WWCoL offered a curriculum with a similar ideology as GSU, in that, they also provided study in the evenings. The only other law schools to offer untraditional hour studies was the University of Miami and Memphis. In 1980, while in the process of ABA accreditation, the trustees generously offered all their assets in real property, securities and cash to GSU.

In 1981, when it became known that GSU was again trying to establish a Law School, the Board of Visitors of the University of Georgia School of Law set out to oppose "another state-supported law school". They successfully stopped the transaction utilizing Lawyer to Population ratio tables. Unfortunately, it was discovered the data was incorrect and later corrected by the SREB (southern region education board) on August 13, 1981.
