RALEIGH, NC – Campbell University’s Wiggins School of Law is reporting an increase of 25 percent in applications for admission, a trend that the school attributes directly to its relocation this fall from the main campus to downtown Raleigh. “The excitement around Campbell Law’s relocation to Raleigh is palpable,” said Dean Melissa Essary. “The outpouring of interest in Campbell Law and our new location is testimony to the strength of our program and the desire of many promising lawyers to live, study, and work in this dynamic city.”
Campbell Law opens for classes in September. The new location offers an increase of 40 percent over its current home, with 13 classrooms, a 175-seat auditorium for use by the School and the wider community, and a 25,000 sf law library, as well as a student commons and coffee shop, chapel, pro bono law clinic offices, and a legal writing center. The Law School will also have the latest in instructional and wireless technology, making Campbell Law. The North Carolina Business Court’s Raleigh division will use the facility’s courtrooms, making Campbell one of few law schools with a working court on its premises and giving students an on-site legal learning lab.
