¸é±ð²õ¾±»å±ð²Ô³¦²â:ÌýNC Supreme Court with Justice Allen in Raleigh, NC
Why ÂÒÂ×ÊÓÆµ Law? From the first Open House I attended in March 2024, I sensed the people behind ÂÒÂ×ÊÓÆµ Law’s program were sincerely invested in helping me become the best lawyer I could be. I wasn’t wrong. The professors are approachable and enthusiastic inside the classroom and out. The student culture is collaborative, not cutthroat. The focus on experiential learning starts from day one. My first-year oral argument was in front of a sitting North Carolina Supreme Court Justice! And in a few weeks, I will be prosecuting a case, interrogating witnesses, and making objections in an actual courtroom as the final exam for another class.
