RALEIGH — One of the Wake County Bar Association (WCBA) Foundation Memorial Scholarships has been granted to rising third-year Campbell Law School student Alyssa Zuckerman ‘27 for this academic year, the WCBA announced at a luncheon on Tuesday, July 14.
Zuckerman, who calls Holly Springs, North Carolina, home, is working this summer at Parker Bryan Family Law, where she has worked for the past year. At Parker Bryan, she assists in legal research and drafting various motions, complaints, separation agreements, answers, divorce judgments and QDROs.
While in law school, Zuckerman has served as an Associate Editor for Campbell Law Review, Volume 48, secretary for the student organization Women in Law and a Peer Mentor. She also made the Academic Honor List in May 2025. For the 2026-2027 school year, she will serve as Senior Articles Editor for Campbell Law Review, Volume 49, secretary for Women in Law and as a Peer Mentor Group Leader.
She also serves as a Taekwondo Instructor in Cary at Master Chang’s Martial Arts, where she has worked for nine years teaching children and adult classes.
“I have worked with special needs children and children with varying behavioral problems,” Zuckerman wrote on LinkedIn. “I have developed ways of explaining myself better due to the time I have spent in this role. I have also worked closely with assistant instructors, head instructors and various managers to ensure that the students are receiving the best possible education. I have spent 15 years training in martial arts and 13 years in Taekwondo specifically and take that expertise into the classes I teach each time I am there.”
Zuckerman graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2024 with a bachelor’s degree in Political Science and English Composition.
The WCBA scholarships are awarded annually to “the best and brightest” law students or persons about to enter law school who have Wake County ties and are funded through donations, the annual golf tournament and late fees from district bar dues. The scholarship fund was founded in 1989 in memory of Edwin S. Preston Jr., former Wake County Chief Resident Superior Court Judge. Since its inception, the WCBA has awarded 84 scholarships amounting to more than $284,000.
Membership in the WCBA is voluntary for lawyers and judges who practice and reside in Wake County and are engaged in private practice, government service, corporate employment and the judiciary. Currently, there are more than 2,300 members who have chosen to better themselves, the profession and the public by providing better access to and understanding of the legal system, according to the WCBA website.
