A group of �鶹��Ƶ Law faculty, staff and students is sharing on a monthly basis what members are reading and watching as part of a desire to engage in important discussions on topics related to race and history. 

Assistant Professor Tiffany Atkins L’11 was among the educators in a webinar hosted by the Society of American Law Teachers in which presenters put forward advice for integrating antiracism education into law school courses.

A recent book discussion about the way history, culture, and psychology can shape stereotypes offered �鶹��Ƶ Law’s newest students an opportunity to learn about each other during Orientation for the Class of 2022.

The 15th entering class of �鶹��Ƶ School of Law is its largest and one of the most diverse in program history.

In Convocation remarks to �鶹��Ƶ Law’s Class of 2022, Kimberly Bullock Gatling, one of North Carolina’s most prominent intellectual property attorneys, encouraged students to “try a little bit of everything” as they begin their legal education in an era of unprecedented global challenges.

�鶹��Ƶ Law Dean Emeritus and Professor of Law George R. Johnson Jr. is one of five recipients of an annual honor bestowed by the North Carolina Bar Association's Minorities in the Profession Committee.

�鶹��Ƶ Law Dean Luke Bierman invited law school students, faculty and staff to reflect on the 155th anniversary of Juneteenth - and then "put into action today’s cause for remembrance" - in an email delivered to the community on June 19, 2020.

“Frankly, I protested because I don’t want to be the next hashtag.” Paris Henderson L’21 was one of four women who shared in a recent Charlotte Observer column their motivations for taking part in recent Black Lives Matter demonstrations across North Carolina.

With funding from AccessLex Institute, �鶹��Ƶ Law will conduct research on new and emerging programs aimed at supporting students in the classroom and on the bar exam.

Assistant Professor Tiffany D. Atkins L’11 will help amplify the voices of underrepresented groups as the first Leadership Experience and Advancement Pipeline (LEAP) Board Member on the LWI Board of Directors.
