School of Law

Elon University School of Law has debuted its new Web site. The site is designed to communicate the programs of the school, the scholarship and teaching of the faculty, and the achievements of students and alumni through the increased use of video reports, feature news pages, and an intuitive navigation system.

On Saturday, February 27, more than thirty current and prospective law students, as well as members of the legal community, gathered to attend Elon 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 Elon University School of Law on Feb. 9.

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