CAMPBELL LAW REVIEW

The SBA sponsored a number of activities including a cookoutduring the summer for students in the Performance Based AdmissionsProgram, a first-year orientation lunch, a Barrister's Ball at the Shera-ton Capital Center, the Annual Law Day festivities, and a barbequecelebration following the Hooding Ceremony.

The SBA also continued its Annual Day of Caring. The eventbegan in 1999 when the SBA initiated a project for students and profes-sors to aid in the clean-up efforts in eastern North Carolina followingHurricane Floyd. This year students assisted in local hospice centers.Although inclimate weather hampered some of the effort, some of thecenters did receive students and were very thankful for those able toparticipate.

The members of the SBA have worked very hard to accomplish themany goals set at the outset of the academic year. The work each hasdone has contributed greatly toward making the Law School a bettercommunity in which to both teach and learn. All of their efforts areappreciated.

VII. ALUMNI ACTIVITIES

A reunion to honor the classes of 1983, 1988, 1993, and 1998 washeld at the Cardinal Club in Raleigh on October 4, 2003. Dean Which-ard, Professors McQuade, Lord and Anderson were present and maderemarks. The guests enjoyed a delicious dinner and danced the eve-ning away with friends and family.

Three alumni gatherings were held in mid-June 2003. The AlumniOffice hosted alumni breakfasts and luncheons at the annual conven-tion of the North Carolina Academy of Trial Lawyers, the North Caro-lina Association of Defense Attorneys annual meeting, and the NorthCarolina Bar Association annual meeting. The Alumni Office held anadditional gathering in October during the North Carolina Associationof Women Attorneys annual conference.

The Law School sponsored three hours of Continuing Legal Edu-cation in conjunction with the University's homecoming activities andsponsored 5.5 hours of Continuing Legal Education in collaborationwith the Lundy Fetterman School of Business at the Twenty-SecondAnnual Session of the Kenelm Foundation Tax Update held in Pine-hurst, North Carolina.

During the spring semester of 2004, the Alumni Office began aletter-writing campaign in conjunction with alumni from each of theLaw School's classes to raise money for the Law School. Alumni haveenthusiastically embraced the endeavor and are in favor of increasing

alumni giving. This effort should enhance the school's standing inNorth Carolina and in the national rankings.

The Alumni Office is also in the final stages of completing anissue of an alumni magazine called The Campbell Counselor. This pub-lication, which is scheduled to appear beginning in July 2004, high-lights the accomplishments of alumni, faculty and staff. The magazinecontains articles of human interest, upcoming events, announcements,and articles of relevance to practicing attorneys.

Each year the Law School hosts its annual Family Day in conjunc-tion with Law Day festivities. Family Day provides an opportunity tointroduce family members to the intricacies of legal education throughclass demonstrations and mock trials. This year's program included abreakfast reception, tours of the law school, and classroom and court-room demonstrations.

VIII. BAR EXAMINATION RESULTS

We received the July North Carolina Bar Examination results inlate August. The passage rates for the North Carolina law schools wereas follows: Duke, 93%; Campbell, 91%; UNC, 84%; Wake Forest, 84%;North Carolina Central, 59%. The overall passage rate was 70%.Thus, Campbell's passage rate was 21% above the overall rate.

It is worth noting that Campbell had three times as many gradu-ates taking the exam as Duke did. It goes without saying that themuch larger number considerably enhances the possibility of morefailures.

The more important statistic is that this makes 13 consecutiveyears that Campbell has placed either first or second on the examamong the North Carolina schools. It is an enviable record and one onwhich we will hope to continue to build.

Fourteen Campbell law graduates sat for the winter North Caro-lina Bar Examination in February. Ten of the 14 passed, for a percent-age passage rate of 70.4%, which was the highest passage rate amongthe North Carolina law schools. It also was over 20% above the overallpassage rate.

IX. COMPETITIONS

A. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Competition

For the fourth consecutive year, the Campbell Law School entereda team in the Willem C. Vis International Commercial ArbitrationMoot Competition in Vienna, Austria. For the third consecutive year,the Campbell team returned with a significant honor. It received Hon-

orable Mention for Best Claimant's Memorandum. One hundredthirty-six teams from all over the world participated in this competi-tion; only 13 of these were honored for their Claimants' Memorandum.The honor thus is a significant one, earned while competing with someof the world's best law students. The Campbell students who partici-pated in the oral competitions were David Ennis, Meredith Kasper,Heather Kiger, and Melissa Walker. Rebecca Livert and Shanda Setzerassisted with memoranda preparation.

B. Appellate Moot Court Competitions

The year began with Sarah Ernest, William Pate, and ZacharyMorgan placing in the top sixteen of the 22nd Annual InternationalMoot Court Competition in Information Technology and Privacy Lawat the John Marshall Law School in Chicago, Illinois.

Two teams represented Campbell in the Region IV Tournament ofthe National Moot Court Competition in Richmond, Virginia. Thiscompetition is the nation's oldest and most prestigious appellate tour-nament. The competition attracts over 220 teams from 165 of thecountry's law schools. Campbell's team of Christopher Crowson,Megan Callahan, and Edward Schenk and a second team of MelissaJohnson, Fred Parker, and Matthew Roberson were among the top six-teen in the region.

The Prince Evidence Competition at the Brooklyn Law School inNew York is one of the most competitive appellate moot contests in thecountry. This year's team of Caroline Burnette, Will Oden, and MartinWarf finished in the top sixteen before losing a close round to DukeUniversity.

The Law School also participated in the ABA National AppellateAdvocacy Competition in Atlanta, Georgia, and the Minnesota CivilRights Competition at the University of Minnesota. At the MinnesotaCompetition, the team of David Ennis, Nichole Gilliam, and ChristyTurner advanced to the top sixteen before losing to the eventual cham-pion BYU. The team of Jennifer Morris, Neil Morrison, and JasonPage, which had the fifth best brief in the competition, defeated SetonHall to advance to the quarterfinals before losing to the same BYUteam.

Two teams represented the Law School at the ABA National Appel-late Advocacy Competition this year. The team of Susan Blazier, MarieMobley, and Justin Moyer were edged out in three preliminary rounds.The team's oral scores were well above the competition, but each oftheir competitors narrowly defeated them when the brief scores wereadded. The team of Ashley Kamphaus, Michelle Prince, and Jon Car-

roll won all five rounds in the regional competition and were amongthe four finalists that went on to the national competition in SanAntonio. The team also received an award for the Second HighestBrief. At the national competition, the team lost close rounds to thetwo schools that competed against each other in the finals.

The Law School's success in these competitions is all the moreremarkable considering that -Campbell is most often the smallestschool participating. Many of our competitors have student bodiesthat are two, three, four, and five times the size of Campbell, thus giv-ing those schools a much larger pool from which to select theirparticipants.

C. Trial Competitions

This year the Law School participated in the National Civil TrialCompetition in Los Angeles. The team of Douglas Grimes, Jenny St.Clair, Adam Horner, and Mindi Schulze reached the semi-finals beforelosing a close round to the eventual champion, the University of Den-ver. This prestigious competition brings together fourteen of the besttrial advocacy schools in the nation to compete in civil litigation.Campbell is honored to be invited each year and proud to have per-formed so well.

The Law School again participated in the Lone Star Classic TrialCompetition in San Antonio, Texas. A team composed of Martin Warf,Noel Fox, Will Oden, and Dave Ward, and a team composed of DeanHingson, Rick Matthews, Starr Ward, and Frank Bowen competed thisyear.

The Law School also sent two teams to the 2004 ATLA StudentTrial Advocacy Regional Competition. Campbell's team composed ofKatie Weaver, Megan Callahan, Patrick Williams, and Tim Hoegemeyeradvanced undefeated through the preliminary rounds before losing aclose trial in the semi-finals to the eventual champion, South Texas.The team composed of Jennifer St. Clair, Douglas Grimes, MindiSchulze, and Adam Horner missed advancing to the semi-finals by atiebreaker.

Finally, the Law School sent two teams to the National Trial Com-petition in Birmingham, Alabama. This trial competition is thenation's oldest and most prestigious trial advocacy competition. Theteam of Bo Thompson, Gretchen Kelly, and Starr Ward advanced to thesemi-final round before losing a close round to the eventual champion,the University of Tennessee. The team of Melissa Johnson, EdwardSchenk, and Matthew Roberson also advanced to the semi-final roundbefore losing by a razor-thin margin to Wake Forest.

CAMPBELL LAW REVIEW

In these competitions our students, by all accounts, represent theschool extremely well and are the epitome of professionalism. Ourforemost goal in all of these competitions, as expressed by one of thecoaches, is "to prepare students to try real cases in real courtrooms." Itis fair to conclude that the Law School has more than met this goal inall of these competitions.

X. JOINT CHILDREN IN FAMILIES AND JUVENILE JUSTICE

MEDIATION PROJECT

This year the work of the Juvenile Justice Task Force culminatedinto the Juvenile Justice Mediation Project. As part of this project, theLaw School, in conjunction with the Eleventh Judicial District and theGovernor's Crime Commission, started a clinical program in juvenilevictim/offender mediation. Professor Anthony Baker directs theclinical program with the help of Visiting Professor William King andAdjunct Professor Jon Powell.

The program takes referrals from the juvenile justice system in theEleventh District (Lee, Harnett, and Johnston counties). These refer-rals are juveniles who have been accused of committing crimes. Theprofessors meet with the offender and the offender's parents to deter-mine if the case is appropriate for mediation. If the offender agrees toproceed with the mediation program, the professors meet with the vic-tim. If the victim agrees to proceed with the mediation, the professorscontinue these separate meetings until an appropriate time to bringboth parties together. This face-to-face meeting allows the victim toexplain the effect of the crime and allows the juvenile offenders to takeresponsibility for their actions as well as to craft an agreement with thevictim to repair the harm done to the victim and the community.

The professors teach a mediation class in the Law School in whichthe students are taught the theory of restorative justice and the "hands-on" approach to victim/offender mediation. The students also have anopportunity to step outside the classroom and participate in live meet-ings and mediations. Following the classroom portion of the program,the students have the opportunity to continue each semester as co-mediators and receive academic credit for their participation.

This year the first class had an enrollment of twenty-four studentsand eight of those were assigned to live cases and participated in thelive meetings and mediation.

XI. PLACEMENT

The Class of 2003 continued Campbell's strong introduction ofgraduates into the legal profession. As of the beginning of 2004, 94%
