Campbell Law facility honored as one of the nation’s best by preLaw magazine

RALEIGH — Campbell Law’s downtown Raleigh campus has been tabbed as one of the 55 best law school facilities in the nation by preLaw magazine. In selecting institutions for inclusion, the magazine assessed aesthetics, square footage per student on campus, library hours, number of library seats per student on campus, and amenities — including dining options, parking, and lockers.

Of the seven North Carolina law schools, Campbell Law is one of only two to make the cut

The complete list is available via the preLaw magazine website. The publication will rank the top 20 law schools and grade each of the 55 included in this preliminary list during its upcoming Fall issue.

“It’s no secret that we have a spectacular campus and an outstanding location,” said Campbell Law Dean J. Rich Leonard. “Our facility is one that our faculty, staff, students, and alumni all take pride in, and I hope that our friends in the downtown Raleigh community do as well.

“I am grateful daily to those who came before me for our tremendous building.”

Campbell Law relocated from its native Buies Creek to its current location at 225 Hillsborough Street in downtown Raleigh prior to the 2009-10 academic year. With approximately 110,000 total square footage of space, the facility boasts a 268-seat library, a wireless network throughout campus, study carrels and lockers, student parking at and adjacent to campus, a chapel, bookstore, coffee shop, and offices for several student organizations.
