BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Campbell University’s Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law is pleased to announce the March 2008 issue of National Jurist magazine has prominently covered the Law School in its cover story entitled, “Disappearing Act.”

The article reports that minority student enrollment at law schools is down nationally, lower than it was 15 years ago, going so far as to call it a “crisis.” However, the article opens with one bright spot, Campbell Law, and reports that the school’s minority student representation has jumped from three percent to 14 percent.

In the article, Campbell Law’s minority enrollment increase is described as “one of only a handful of bright spots in legal education in regard to minority recruitment.” The article also features a photo of Dean Melissa Essary, and a caption highlighting the school’s upcoming move to Raleigh.

About National Jurist magazine: The National Jurist is the leading news source in its market – reaching an estimated 100,000 law faculty, students and professionals nationwide.
