RALEIGH — Three Campbell Law School alumni joined in a discussion about the importance of civility in the legal profession as part of Campbell Law School’s “Campbell Advantage” Orientation events at noon on Monday, Aug. 7.
Lynwood Evans ’99 of Ward and Smith, Forest Horne ’89 of Martin & Jones, Eliot Smith ’93 of Farris and Thomas and Dana Hoffman of Young Moore spoke to the nearly 200 new law students about the importance of professionalism and courteous conduct.

“Civility Matters”, a notable event organized by the esteemed American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA), embodies their commitment to upholding the utmost levels of civility, integrity and excellence in American jurisprudence.
“I’m honored to have the opportunity to participate in this important discussion,” said Lynwood, Ward and Smith’s Litigation Practice Section Leader and an ABOTA member, in a post on his firm’s website. “I believe that fostering civility is a professional duty. It’s through respectful discourse and collaborative efforts that we can uphold the integrity of our justice system, and this program will help us think critically about best practices for promoting civility among lawyers.”
