RALEIGH, N.C. – Campbell Law Dean J. Rich Leonard has announced the creation of the Law Clinics Advisory Council. Comprised of 15 leading legal, community, and public service professionals, the council will assist the dean and the directors of each clinic in developing, evaluating, and strategically planning for each of Campbell Law’s three clinics, as well as launching new initiatives.
Campbell Law currently operates the Restorative Justice, Senior Law, and Stubbs Bankruptcy clinics. Additional clinical programs are under exploration.
“Our clinical programs are an integral part of our law school community, especially as it pertains to the commitment to public service that Campbell Law School and the legal profession holds so dear,” said Leonard. “All three of our clinics are tremendous assets to the local community, as well as area pro bono efforts and legal aid organizations that are overwhelmed with the demand for legal services in our community.
“This council will assist us in refining our programs, building more relationships within the community, and finding additional avenues in which we can take action and help those most in need around us.”
A complete list of council members is below.
