about JUDSon LYONS SOCIETY

Empowering Future Legal Leaders

The Judson Lyons Society empowers Morehouse College students pursuing careers in law through a range of impactful initiatives. Founded to honor the legacy of Judson Whitlocke Lyons—the first Morehouse graduate to become a licensed attorney in Georgia—the Society is rooted in the rich heritage of African legal traditions. By fostering academic excellence, cultural pride, and a strong sense of justice, we prepare the next generation of Black legal professionals to lead with purpose and integrity.

Upholding the Legacy of Justice

The Judson Lyons Society stands as a living tribute to generations of Morehouse Men who have shaped history through courage, intellect, and service. By highlighting the accomplishments of legal trailblazers and fostering academic excellence among students, the Society continues to advance a proud tradition of leadership in the pursuit of justice and equality.
