Morgan, who will teach Civil Procedure, brings a strong blend of academic achievement and hands-on legal experience to the classroom.

Most recently, Morgan has worked at a nonprofit focused on sustainable growth and climate action. He previously served as a judicial law clerk for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and for the District of Connecticut. 

Between his clerkships, he worked in the General Counsel’s office of the North Carolina Department of Justice, where he focused on a range of important civil and constitutional matters. Morgan has authored several legal publications, with a primary focus on constitutional law and the First and Second Amendments.

A graduate of Duke University School of Law, Morgan 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. He was also a member of Duke’s First Amendment Clinic, where he represented clients in state and federal court, and a winner of Duke’s annual Dean’s Cup moot court competition.

Morgan is passionate about teaching and committed to helping students think critically, write clearly and engage meaningfully with the law. “I am thrilled to be joining the Campbell Law community and can’t wait to get to work learning about the law with students,” 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 service in the United States Air Force.

Warren served as an Appellate Military Judge on the Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals at Joint Base Andrews prior to joining the Campbell Law faculty. Commissioned in 2004, he brings over two decades of legal and military experience, having served as both trial and appellate counsel, Area Defense Counsel and trial judge. He has deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, where he supported detention operations and detainee review processes.

He has also taught and mentored the next generation of military lawyers as a highly decorated instructor.

A cum laude graduate of Mercer University’s Walter F. George School of Law, Warren is admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of Georgia and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces. He has received numerous awards, including the Secretary of Defense Award for Excellence and Instructor of the Year at the JAG School.

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.”
