In 1988 AFTER LAW SCHOOL the Trustees of Campbell University named the School of Law in honor Admission to the Bar 53 of Norman Adrian Wiggins, President of the University. The Trustees intended to establish a different law school, one which could ultimately Career Planning and Placement 53 serve as a model for American legal education. Alumni Relations 55 The decision to establish the School of Law was not lightly made; it was made with the firm conviction that the School of Law and its STUDENT LIFE graduates would help meet needs presently unmet, particularly in the The Student Body 57 Southeastern United States. The Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law is not designed to be a law school that duplicates in every detail the Student Organizations 57 emphases and programs of existing law schools. Rather, its intention is to Medical and Counseling Services 61 formulate a unique program, at a unique location, and to educate a particular type of lawyer for whom there is a special and continuing need. Student Activities 61 From its beginning the School of Law has enjoyed a heritage derived ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY 64 from three distinct but interrelated traditions. The first is the noble tradition of the legal profession, of law schools as an integral part of that profession, and of the English and American common law. It is a tradition that the School of Law seeks to instill in its students, to the end that they may serve as positive, uplifting forces in our society. The second is the Christian tradition. Campbell is a Southern Baptist University, and the School of Law does not profess merely to be part of a church-related college. Rather, it is a Christian institution, and its character reflects the Judeo-Christian tradition. While we are proud that Campbell was conceived as a Christian law school, we do not attempt to limit the nature of a "Christian law school" by narrow definition. We do say that it must be a people-oriented school at which the worth of all individuals is recognized, as is the importance of moral, ethical and religious questions. It further recognizes the stewardship inherent in all vocations; and that all vocations, and particularly the practice of law, should be spiritually as well as financially rewarding. Finally, the School of Law draws its inspiration from the finer traditions of the rural South—from a heritage of friendliness, industry, and self-reliance demonstrated in the life and history of Campbell University. The School of Law now plays a proud part in that history, a part consistent with the best of the three heritages that have inspired its conception and development. 4 5 Character and Goals THE UNIVERSITY The Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law of Campbell University Campbell University and its School of Law occupy a spacious 1450- is purposely a small law school, with enrollment limited to approximately acre campus in the village of Buies Creek, located 30 miles equidistant 100 students per class (making it the smallest private accredhed law from two of the South's fastest growing metropolitan centers, the school in the nation).
