GRADUATE LISTINGS sidebars •Deceased/1979-2003 p I I s this is written, classes for the spring semester 2004 have just ended. Our students are hard at work preparing for exams. In three weeks the class of 2004 will have graduated. The Campbell Law School is a busy place. Our students and graduates continue to bring honor to the school. The trial teams, appellate moot court teams, and client counseling teams have placed highly in regional and national competitions. At the international level, the Campbell team received Honorable Mention for Best Claimant's Memorandum in the just-completed Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot Competition in Vienna, Austria. There were 136 teams from six of the seven continents in this competition, and ours was one of the 13 recognized for the quality of its Claimant's Memorandum. We are involved internationally in another respect. Last summer 10 students from Handong University in South Korea came to Campbell for a three-week trial advocacy course taught by Professor Woodruff. This summer some of our students will participate in a Cooperative Program at Handong in which Professors Button and Buzzard will teach. Finally, in recognition of the global nature of 21st- century law practice, some of our students have just organized an International Law Society. I continue to receive warm greetings from many of you wherever I go. The passion and concern alumni and friends have for this school is intensely gratifying. You continue to make us proud, and we hope to continue to make you proud of your school. We look forward to a continuing association with you, and we hope you enjoy this issue of the Counselor.
