RALEIGH, N.C. – A bevy of judges — all Campbell Law alums — comprise the entirety of the first Campbell Judges Speak CLE set for Friday, Oct. 2 at the law school. Topics for the CLE include drafting orders, family law issues, criminal bench trials and resentencing hearings, complex civil litigation, federal civil rule amendments, and a discussion on moral, ethical, and legal matters.
Register online for Campbell Judges Speak at this link. The day-long CLE will provide credit for five general hours and one ethics hour. Credit is currently pending approval by the North Carolina State Bar.
“Nearly 90 Campbell Law graduates either are or have been judges,” said Campbell Law Assistant Dean of External Relations Megan West, who organized the CLE. “For the first time, we’re tapping into this portion of our alumni network to lead and teach others on the pertinent issues in today’s legal arena.”
