To address this reality, legal incubators have sprouted up to provide business support, training and mentoring for participants to launch their own sustainable solo or small law firm." Originally called the Durham Opportunity and Justice Incubator, it has since been renamed the Incubator for Legal Practice and Innovation to reflect a broader emphasis for serving attorneys from across the state.

"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."

The lynching of William Outlaw, a highly respected African American in Graham and the resulting martial law declared under George Washington Kirk by then Governor Holden are the basis of this story.
