School of Law

David Gergen, adviser to four United States presidents, Director of the Center for Public Leadership and Professor of Public Service at the Harvard Kennedy School, one of the country's preeminent political commentators, and chair of Elon University's Law School Advisory Board, described Elon Law's founding principles of engaged learning, service, and leadership, and underscored their importance to the legal profession and to the nation's well-being, in the inaugural commencement address before the charter class of the law school on May 24.

Through three articles published in the News and Record of Greensboro on October 25, Elon Law professors Scott Gaylord, Andrew Haile, and Alan Woodlief explore the merit of reforming North Carolina's system of selecting judges. A public debate on the subject will be held at Elon Law on October 29.
