Elon Law's Innocence Project and the undergraduate chapter of Phi Alpha Delta at Elon University cosponsored an April 20 forum entitled "Wrongful Convictions and Innocence: Racism and the SBI Audits." The forum featured Daryll Hunt, exonerated of rape and murder charges after more than 19 years in prison, and three distinguished attorneys engaged in innocence and justice initiatives.

Created in the fall of 2010, the Student Advocacy Board enables Elon Law students to strengthen trial advocacy skills through participation in annual competitions that draw students from law schools across the country. Members of the Board organize into trial teams, receive coaching from Elon Law professors and accomplished trial attorneys, and compete in multi-day national advocacy competitions.

On April 29, Elon Law professor Faith Rivers James presented a series of case law updates related to land use regulations, eminent domain, co-tenancy, and other property law matters, at the 22nd Annual Spring Symposia of the American Bar Association Section of Real Property, Trust, and Estate Law, held in Washington, D.C.
