RALEIGH – Assistant Professors of Law Luke Morgan and Charles Warren will join the Campbell Law School faculty effective Aug. 1, 2025, Dean J. Rich Leonard has announced.
Morgan, who will teach Civil Procedure, brings a strong blend of academic achievement and hands-on legal experience to the classroom, Leonard said.
Most recently, Morgan has worked as a staff attorney and previously served as a judicial law clerk for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. He began his legal career at the North Carolina Department of Justice, where he focused on a range of important civil and constitutional matters. He has also authored several legal publications on civil rights, appellate advocacy and procedural law.
A graduate of Duke University School of Law, Morgan finished in the top 5% of his class. During his time at Duke, he served as Senior Notes Editor for the Duke Law Journal and received multiple faculty awards in Constitutional Law and Civil Rights, Advocacy and Legal Writing.
Morgan said he is passionate about teaching and committed to helping students think critically, write clearly and engage meaningfully with the law. “I am looking forward to joining the Campbell Law community and working closely with students inside and outside the classroom,” he says.
Warren will teach Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure. With a distinguished background in military justice and a passion for teaching, Warren brings a wealth of experience and insight to the classroom drawing from his extensive military service, Leonard said.
Warren most recently served as a military appellate judge in the U.S. Air Force. Before that, he held positions as a military trial judge and appellate counsel — roles that gave him deep, hands-on experience in both trial and appellate practice. “My service as a Judge Advocate General (JAG) officer shaped a career dedicated to integrity, public service and the rule of law,” he explained.
A graduate of Mercer University School of Law, Warren has also contributed significantly to legal scholarship. He has authored numerous publications, including appellate judicial opinions, and served on the editorial board of the Air Force Law Review, where he helped advance critical discussions in military and criminal law.
Warren said he is excited to join the Campbell Law community and looks forward to “helping students build a strong foundation in criminal law, develop their advocacy skills, and think critically about justice and procedure in real-world contexts.”
