Juris Education interviewed Professor Matthew Christopher (Chris) Cox, the Director of Trial Advocacy and Assistant Professor of Law at the Campbell University Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law, for an exclusive look at what sets the school's Trial Advocacy Program apart.
Campbell Law School is committed to preparing practice-ready attorneys through a comprehensive three-pronged pedagogical approach that integrates clinical experience, mock trial training, and competitive advocacy programs.
Through our clinical programs, students work directly with licensed attorneys to represent actual clients, gaining invaluable hands-on experience in real legal matters. The school's strategic location in the downtown district of the state capital provides access to diverse practice areas and professional opportunities across multiple legal disciplines.
Our mock trial program provides students with a structured learning environment where they can develop essential advocacy skills while receiving constructive feedback from experienced practitioners and faculty. This supportive framework allows students to refine their courtroom techniques and build confidence in a low-risk setting.
The competitive advocacy component elevates student preparation through participation in national and international competitions, enabling our students to test their skills against peers from leading law schools worldwide. This exposure to high-level competition enhances both technical proficiency and professional confidence.
This integrated approach ensures that Campbell Law graduates possess not only a thorough understanding of legal principles but also the practical skills and professional confidence necessary to effectively serve their clients from the first day of practice.
Juris Education is proud to interview experts at the nation's most renowned law schools for insights on what makes their programs unique and how they shape career-ready law students.
