On Saturday, February 27, more than thirty current and prospective law students, as well as members of the legal community, gathered to attend ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Law’s annual Diversity Day program. Featuring Timothy Tyson, Duke University professor and author of Blood Done Sign My Name, and District Court Judge Denise Hartsfield, Diversity Day attendees were challenged to become lawyers who would advocate for justice and equal rights.

Julius Chambers, whose work as a civil rights attorney made school desegregation a reality in Charlotte and many other cities, told prospective law students that the poor and uneducated need advocates to fight on their behalf. Chambers' remarks came during the first Diversity Day at ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ School of Law on Feb. 9.

ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Law professor Steve Friedland published an article in the fall 2010 issue of The Law Teacher exploring the benefits of student questioning activities in law school courses.

Through ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Law’s winter-term course, Lawyering, Leadership & Professionalism, first-year law students explored personal and professional attributes valued in the profession.

Four graduates of the Class of 2010 have joined 3 graduates from the Class of 2009 in forming the beginnings of a tradition by matriculating into internationally prestigious Master of Laws programs.
