Abstract:
"As lawyers, we learn "the law" in law school, but we are rarely, if ever, taught how to run a business. Starting running and sustaining a law firm--like it or not-- is running a business. 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.

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:
William W. Holden is not viewed well in North Carolina history as characterized by mainstream defenders of the “Old South”. In this article, Wade Harrison tells the other side of the story with equally convincing support of a leader and others tirelessly involved in in doing the best for their community and state and yet brutally attacked without provocation to satisfy those fearful of the demise of white supremacy. 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.

"From 2011 to 2021, Alex Murdaugh allegedly stole millions and embezzled cash from an IOLTA general trust account held by a Hampton, SC, law firm. How did that go undetected for so long? What opportunities were missed to disclose wrongdoing? How does an attorney rack up 99 counts of embezzlement, fraud, and other financial crimes against his firm and his clients without getting caught sooner."

Abstract:
" 'Just Throw a Rock . . and Run' is an introspective and broadly honest look at race relations in the Southern United States. In it, Judge Gary Trawick vividly illustrates what it was like living through the creation and implementation of the Civil Rights Act in North Carolina." Trawick, a retired Superior Court Judge was interviewed for this sketch. One reason for writing the book, Trawick states is to get people to top talking about slavery and Jim Crow eras and face up to the ongoing discrimination more recently happening in the last two generations.
