The Honorable Paul Ridgeway, a 1986 Campbell Law graduate and N.C. Superior Court judge, and the Honorable Damion McCullers, a 2003 Campbell Law graduate and N.C.

The ceremony offered graduates the opportunity to be sworn in as attorneys with the North Carolina State Bar at their alma mater with their family, friends, professors, classmates and peers encouraging them and sharing the occasion. Each graduate took the oath of office as an attorney at law to support the Constitution of the United States.

“The annual swearing-in ceremony is one of our favorite events because it’s the final destination on a long and challenging educational and professional journey,” said Campbell Law Assistant Dean of External Relations Megan West Sherron ’10. “It’s also the beginning of a new career in the legal profession, and it means a great deal to the administration, faculty and staff that every year so many of our alumni return home to share this special occasion with us.”

A reception was held following the ceremonies.
