Hello Everyone!
UNC Law SBA is looking for a photographer to photograph Barrister's Ball on March 4th.

If anyone is a photographer, has a photography background, or knows a photographer, please feel free to DM Nehemiah McIntosh

Happy Fall Break! I hope that each of you is enjoying some much deserved time away from the law school. Over your break, I would like to encourage you to check out SBA's E-Store where you can purchase UNC Law monogrammed hats, polos, quarter-zips, and more.

Any of these items would make a perfect gift to reward yourself for making it this far in the semester. Even better, a portion of each purchase will be donated for relief efforts!

This sale is not limited to current students of UNC Law. That being said, if you know any alumni who have been looking for some UNC Law merchandise go ahead and shoot them the link attached below. You never know, it could bring you one step closer to finally convincing them to hire you.

Each order will be shipped to the address of your choice once your order has been processed and completed.

Place your orders NOW and until the E-Store CLOSES on NOVEMBER 12th.

A Message from Dean Smith

I hope everyone is safe and well. Our Spring 2021 semester is not starting out how any of us had hoped. Our country is in crisis on several fronts. In the spirit of Dean Brinkley’s message last night, I invite you to join our Carolina Law Community (internal only – faculty, staff and students) for a discussion on the role of law in the coming days, weeks, months and years. Today, January 7, 2021 from 5:15 pm – 6:30 pm. we will be hosting a community conversation. I know there are trial ad sections that will not end until 5:45, please feel free to join when you are able.

We will be joined by NC Representative Marcia Morey to share her reflections on what it means to be a lawyer at this time.

Please join us this THURSDAY AT 12PM for an event with Dr. DeAnna Murphy. This event will focus on mental health surrounding racial oppression and trauma, and navigating the unique time we live in today. We hope to see you all there.

Hi everyone! It's time to fill Student Bar Association committees. These committees are crucial to providing students a meaningful opportunity to better their school through their input and service. They’re also a great way to get involved at UNC Law during the COVID-19 pandemic, for form working relationships with other students in this time of social distancing. If you would like to serve on one of these committees please file an application with us. The application will close at 11:59pm on Wednesday, September 2nd. We are looking forward to working with all of you to improve our school and community.
It is important to note: this is a different application than the one for the Academic Affairs Committee. That link was posted earlier this week. It is closed now, and the Academic Affairs Committee has already been filled. This is a new application for a different slate of committees.

SBA Committee Applications Hello, and thank you for applying to serve the UNC Law community by taking part in a Student Bar Association Committee! The applications to chair these committees went out in the spring, and the chair of each committee should be listed next to it unless it is not chaired. The committees are as follo...

SBA would like to bring your attention to a fantastic event happening next week. Following this summer’s racial reckoning, BLSA will be hosting Police Reform and the Future of Qualified Immunity on Tuesday, August 25th at noon. We will be joined by guest speakers Professor Joseph Kennedy, UNC Martha Brandis Term Professor of Law and Amir Ali, Director of Harvard Law School’s Criminal Justice Clinic and the Director of the MacArthur Justice Center. This salient and timely program aims to discuss the history of racialized police violence, the complicated past and future of qualified immunity, and avenues for reform that we can be a part of. Please see the Zoom link below and the attached flyer.
