CAMPBELL ITWIVERSITT SCHOOL OF LAW 1983 PLACEIMEirr BULLETllK Message from the Deans This year the seventh class of students entered the School of Law, a fact which many will find surprising since Campbell is still regarded as a "new law school." Our hope is that we shall be always so regarded—that we continue, as we began, to be innovative in our approach to legal education without sacrificing proven traditional methods; and that, true to our original goal, we continue to educate lawyers who will be prepared from the outset of their careers to serve their communities with legal skill and ethical and intellectual leadership. Our method, we said, would be a different, structured curriculum with most of the courses required and allowing for the practical to be taught in association with the theoretical. Six years have only served to reinforce the vision we had for the School of Law as an educational and economic model for the small law school in the future of legal education—in part because of the glowing reports we continue to receive about our students and our graduates—in part because of our graduates' outstanding success on bar examinations in North Carolina and in numerous other states. The students pictured within have had their instruction from a diverse, talented, and demanding faculty. They are the beneficiaries of an arduous program of intellectual and ethical development in combination with skills training, the latter often denied at the law school level of legal education. As a group they represent the few who gained entry from the many who applied, and then only after careful consideration of the usual predictors of success and a unique personal interview with a member of our faculty. Along with traditional education in the required courses, they have taken a law planning course (estate, real property, business or contract); have labored extensively in our courtroom trying two cases, arguing motions, filing all the usual civil "paperwork"; have briefed and argued two appeals; and in our required Legal Economics course have been exposed to the workings of and have performed as lawyers in the law office, including time and other record keeping, billing, systems design and use, and even computer technology. The efforts of these students have not been confined to the classroom. Through the Campbell Law Review and the popular Campbell Law Observer, the only student paper of its kind in the nation, they have achieved national recognition for their efforts. Many have participated competitively in national moot court, trial, and client counseling competitions. We are proud of our students and graduates, and of our outstanding faculty, also profiled within, who have contributed so much in a relatively short time. We are confident these students will be entirely worthy of your consideration, and we commend them to you. We hope you will contact Assistant Dean Margaret Currin and the faculty concerning your needs. Sincerely yours. Robert A. Jenkins F.
