Standard protocol in academia includes the implementation of a code of conduct for matriculating students. These codes, often in the form of a student handbook or manual, typically govern student conduct in the internal community of an academic institution. Law schools have been particularly careful to provide students with an explanation of their rights and responsibilities due to the recognition that law school is a student’s first step toward becoming a member of the legal profession.

Imagine being a ten-year-old child in the foster system, growing up believing that no person truly loves you and feeling as if you are only seen as a quick solution to a monetary need. Feeling lonely and desperate, you run away. Running away seems like a great option because this way, you become your own master, set your own rules, and live or die by your decisions. The circumstances described above are faced by hundreds of young children in North Carolina. Within 48 hours of running away, one

Note from the Editor: Recently, the Campbell Law Observer hosted a write-on competition to recruit new staff writers and editors. Each student was to discuss the value of a law degree. As we all know, the value, or perceived value, of a law degree has changed. Below, you will find the second article in this series. In the summer of 2008, I was living the dream: basking in the glow of beautiful Myrtle Beach, living on a premier golf course and cleaning golf clubs for tips. Did I mention

The first time I had the privilege of hearing Professor Anderson lecture, he made the comment, “You can’t go kicking the beehive and then asking the bees for honey.” It was one of the most brilliant, absurd things I’d ever heard, and I’ll never forget it. I’m sure there are many more “Anderson moments” out there as everyone who has met Professor Anderson—whether in the classroom, the courtroom, or the Carlie-C’s down near Buie’s Creek—has certainly met one of the Greats.

It has happened to many lawyers. After countless hours of negotiations, the parties believe they’ve reached a settlement agreement. But instead of rejoicing in the resolution, they find themselves locked in renewed conflict after the “deal” falls through. Usually this happens for one of three reasons. Sometimes the parties fail to recognize the importance of details that could doom the agreement. Some agreements, for example, have significant zero-sum tax consequences for the

Protect your password. Don’t share it with anyone. Make it complicated so no one can guess it randomly. We do these things because our passwords safeguard our financial and personal worlds. We have passwords for our bank accounts, email, smart phones, and computers. We even have passwords for the hard drives in our computers in case the computer gets lost or stolen. These passwords can protect our personal information or conceal evidence of criminal activity. It is that second

Melissa Essary It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the new and improved Campbell Law Observer. For decades, this publication has served as a vehicle for disseminating legal journalism across the state. Attorneys, judges and students received the Campbell Law Observer in print format and were able to read about current legal topics, legislative developments and were provided with editorials from bright Campbell Law students. While many understandably cherish the touch of

Recently, I have become more keenly aware of one of my quirkier attributes. I have an aversion to technology. I am a 27-year-old soon-to-be young professional who, for all intents and purposes, fears the inevitable direction that technology is moving. Two recent events spurred this self-awareness. First, I found myself standing in Capitol Hill Books in Washington, D.C. earlier this month. For those who have not been to this landmark, it’s a used bookstore just outside of the

Note from the Editor: Recently, the Campbell Law Observer hosted a write-on competition to recruit new staff writers and editors. Each student was to discuss the value of a law degree. As we all know, the value, or perceived value, of a law degree has changed. Below, you will find the article that received the highest score from the previous editorial board. Next week, we will publish another student’s write-on prompt in an attempt to display two very unique perspectives. Three

Reputation and recognition are important aspects of the legal profession, permeating through the activities of law students and attorneys on a daily basis. As Campbell Law students, we are all acutely aware of reputation as we compete with the likes of Duke and North Carolina law students. We are both proud of the esteem that Campbell graduates are held within the state but also cognizant of law school rankings and terms like “regional law school.” Luckily, we have the
