CAMPBELL UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW 1980 PLACEMENT BULLETIN Message from the Dean It is with great pleasure that we present in this Bulletin the three classes of Campbell University School of Law. They symbolize the pioneering spirit and dedication to excellence which have been responsible for the remarkable success of the School of Law since it opened its doors in August of 1976. At that time, we defined the character and goals of the school in the following manner: Campbell College School of Law is purposely a small law school, with ultimate plans to admit no more than approximately 90 students per class. While its academic program is arduous, its rural village setting and commitment to human values are designed to enhance one's likelihood of success as a student, and as a lawyer in any setting in which one chooses to practice. Campbell proposes 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, in the noblest tradition of the counselor. The aims of the School of Law are to equip men and women for the general practice of law and all that such a practice involves; to foster the formulation of a sound philosophical and ethical foundation upon which the student can base his or her legal education and career; and to instill in the student a sense of the responsibility of the legal profession and of the individual lawyer as a member of the larger community. In accomplishing these primary goals, the School of Law further intends to promote cooperation between law schools and the legal profession in meeting the needs of both the profession and the public; to foster research not only in those areas traditional to schools of law but also with respect to the actual practice of law;and to serve the cause of constructive innovation in legal education by developing a unique program of instruction which recognizes and responds to the fact that the law^^er works in the real world, and that in the life of the lawyer the philosophical, the theoretical, the ethical and the practical are indispensable in their relationship to each other. That language has been maintained by the School of Law in subsequent bulletins. That ithas found fulfillment is a tribute to the efforts of its students. They have taken full advantage of instruction from an unusually talented and demanding faculty, profiled on pages 40 through 43. The faculty has allowed no pattern of grade inflation to develop here, its goal being to insure that any Campbell graduate should be a good lawyer. Our required curriculum, shown on page 44, requires that Campbell students take and pass those courses containing the substance of what the public, and prospective employers, are entitled to have them know. In addition, one-third of their third-year curriculum is devoted to a unique two-semester Advocacy and Practice course designed, in conjunction with a required Legal Economics and Law Office Administration course, to bridge the gap between law school and law practice. The decision to maintain a small law school has provided us with many advantages. One is the ability to be unusually selective in the admission of our students, who are accepted not only on the basis of academic promise, but also on the basis of character and motivation. Other advantages have allowed us to develop a truly different type of law school, one whose graduates should require less than normal employer supervision in developing into fine lawyers—lawyers capable of helping the Southeastern United States take advantage of the unparalleled opportunities projected for the rest of this century. We are confident these graduates will be a credit to CampbeU and to our profession, and we invite your inquiries concerning their placement. We hope you will contact Associate Dean Broderick, me or other members of the faculty concerning your needs.
