Abstract:
"On June 30, 2023, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper signed the repeal of "Blackbeard's Law," which had controversially placed videos and images taken of North Carolina shipwrecks in the public domain. Prior to the governor's signature, the General Assembly of North Carolina unanimously passed the measure, which was among numerous items related to North Carolina's Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (DNCR) as part of House Bill 168. More specifically, some believe that the repeal measure was intentionally submerged at page 11 of a 24 page bill." In 2017, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina ruled Blackbeard's Law unconstitutional.

Abstract:
Shepard recounted the development of the Chief Justice’s Commission on Professionalism since its inception in the late 1990s. Included in the recount is her examination of the Rules of Conduct, in place a dozen years before the CJCP, its predecessor, the Model Code. Also noted by Sheppard is the role that Watergate and North Carolina’s State Bar played in the legal profession nationally and locally since the 1970s. Her analysis of these elements collectively asserts the need for and benefit of professionalism standards for representatives of the legal profession.

Abstract:
Despite not making the final bid as site for Amazon’s second US headquarters, the city of Hickory can claim fulfillment of its economic promise. Fulfillment of its promise is in industries such as furniture, which can measure success in 60% of furniture sold in the United States connected to the area. Success on a global scale can be measured in Hickory Furniture Mart’s attracting visitors from Asia, the Middle East, and Europe and drawing 500,000 visits annually.
