RALEIGH, N.C. – Answering the call of many to give back to their communities on Friday, September 11, nearly 160 first-year Campbell Law students, faculty and staff worked on a variety of community service projects in Raleigh and across the region. Dubbed ”Campbell Law Cares,” members of the Law School faculty and staff plan to regularly sponsor service projects that connect law students to the greater Raleigh community.
Groups that benefited from the Law School student teams included:
- The Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina
- Inter-Faith Food Shuttle
- First Baptist Church (Salisbury Street-Raleigh) Clothing Ministry
- Mountains to Sea Trail
- City of Raleigh Parks & Recreation Department
- PLM Families Together, Inc.
“We believe community outreach of this type is a great way to introduce our new students to the servanthood aspect of the law,” said Professor Thomas Anderson who coordinated this year’s ‘Campbell Law Cares’ events. “It also gave the faculty and staff a way to lead by example and show that we as a Law School believe in community service.”
About Campbell Law School: Since its founding in 1976, the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law at Campbell University has developed lawyers who possess moral conviction, social compassion and professional competence, and who view the law as a calling to serve others. The School has been recognized by the American Bar Association (ABA) as having the nation’s top Professionalism Program and by the American Academy of Trial Lawyers for having the nation’s best Trial Advocacy Program. Campbell Law boasts more than 3,200 alumni, including 2,200 who reside and work in North Carolina. For 21 years, Campbell Law’s record of success on the North Carolina Bar Exam has been unsurpassed by any other North Carolina law school.
