Former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who served as the 83rd Attorney General of the United States from 2015 to 2017, will address the Juris Doctor candidates of NCCU School of Law on Friday, May 3.
“Law school teaches you to think in a completely different way,” Hurd said. “Not making assumptions. Always asking questions and thinking of all the outcomes that could happen in a certain situation."
In February, North Carolina Central University (NCCU) will kick off a two-year multi-campus discussion series on a youth organization active in the civil rights movement of the 1960s.
The symposium will include a keynote, presentations and panel discussions designed to examine the impact of Jim Crow laws, hate-based crimes and the journey to justice.
At the age of 22, Brittany Reaves has made history as being one of the youngest students to ever graduate from the law school, earning degrees from the joint juris doctor/ Master of Arts in History program.
The scholarship fund will benefit law students involved with and enrolled in the Veterans Law Clinic, and who are working on issues related to the legal and civil rights of veterans.
