RALEIGH, N.C. – Third-year Campbell Law student Elizabeth Paul has been selected as the distinguished bankruptcy law student for the Fourth Circuit by the American College of Bankruptcy (ACB).

Rich Leonard, will be formally recognized as a part of an all-expense paid trip to the organization’s annual meeting in Washington, D.C., March 12-14.
“I am immensely proud of Elizabeth for being chosen for this prestigious accolade,” said Leonard. “She has been a fine asset to the Campbell Law community, and I have no doubt that she will represent our institution well in Washington while being recognized for her efforts.”
Extremely active in the law school community, Paul has served as the symposium editor for Campbell Law Review, as well as the president of the Women in Law student organization.
“I am deeply honored to receive this award,” said Paul. “Dean Leonard continues to be a wonderful mentor as I pursue my interest in the practice of bankruptcy and I am so grateful for his nomination.“
