The Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law at Campbell University was established in 1976.
Boasting more than three decades of excellence in legal education on Campbell University's
main campus in Bules Creek, NorthCarolina, the School of Law will be relocated to Raleigh, North Carolina,
in August 2009.
From its inception, the School of Law
was envisioned as a unique and different law school. The School of Law
is a highly demanding, purposely small, intensely personal community of faculty
and students whose aim, guided by transcendent values, is to develop lawyers
who possess moral conviction, social compassion, and professional competence
and who view the practice of law as a calling to serve others and to create a
more just society.
The Schoolof Law concentrates on
the integration of the practical with the theoretical in a highly structured
and rigorous curriculum. The demanding nature of the curriculum stems from our
commitment to a genuinely "professional" legal education. The members
of the law faculty recognize their responsibility to help law students acquire
foundational theoretical knowledge and skills to become fully integrated legal
professionals.
Campbell law students have a tradition of success in Moot
Court, Client Counseling and Trial Competitions. During 2007 and 2008, Campbell law student
teams won two National Moot Court Championships and several other Regional Moot
Court and Trial Competitions. In addition, Campbell law graduates consistently perform
at the highest level on bar examinations. Campbell
law graduates have achieved the highest overall bar passage rate among North
Carolina Law Schools for the past 16 years. Our graduates also have a similarly
high bar passage rate on other states' bar exams.
The Schoolof Law's character and
programs reflect a grounding in the Judeo‑Christian tradition. We
encourage students to examine the relationship between spiritual and legal
issues, to explore the theological foundations for law, to think differently
about justice and the legal system, and to consider how lawyers can help
achieve a more just and merciful society. While the School of Law
embraces an intellectual perspective rooted in Christian tradition, it is
committed to free and open discussion of ideas.
The Schoolof Law seeks students who
view the practice of law as a privilege to engage in a professional life of
service to others. The heritage and finest traditions of the legal profession
must include leadership in their communities and an overriding concern that
justice be served in all matters.
