Exiting Atlanta hospital CEO: Letter confirms law degree

Pam Stephenson, CEO of Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, produced a letter from the state bar admissions office saying she must have demonstrated in 1994 that she had a law degree, because it licensed her to practice. Stephenson said the letter "confirms what I already knew about myself: Pam Stephenson holds a juris doctorate degree and I worked very hard for that." Questions about Stephenson's academic history surfaced when university registrars said they could not confirm some of the degrees listed on her résumé and a Grady-issued news release.
