History
In the early 1970s, Campbell University's third president, Norman Adrian Wiggins, began discussing his vision of a small, private law school that would develop lawyers with moral conviction, compassion and competence, to create a more just society.
President Wiggins traveled throughout North Carolina, enthusiastically presenting his vision for a unique law school, raising the substantial funds required, and attracting outstanding lawyers and legal educators to the new endeavor.
His vision – supported by hard work, patience and outstanding leadership – became a reality when the charter class of 97 students inaugurated the Campbell University School of Law in August 1976. Ten years later, Campbell University's Board of Trustees renamed the law school, the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law, to honor his pioneering efforts and leadership. |
