As we celebrate 233 years of UNC's service to the state of North Carolina, we wanted to take a moment to highlight Carolina Law's Clinical Programs and their impact serving the citizens of North Carolina. 🩵

As certified legal interns, clinical students annually provide thousands of hours of free legal services to individuals and organizations that are marginalized or otherwise unable to access counsel. Over the last two academic years, a total of 215 students collectively provided more than 35,000 hours of pro bono legal representation, serving 359 clients and completing 627 unique cases under the supervision of our outstanding Clinic faculty. We’re so proud of the work our students are doing!

North Carolina made history in 2025 when the NC Insurance Underwriting Association launched the world's first insurance-linked resilience catastrophe bond, a deal that went on to win a major award. Join us on October 9 at the Carolina Inn from 9 AM - 3 PM where the people behind it are coming to Chapel Hill to talk about what's next. 🌍

Carolina Law's Center on Risk, Resilience, Energy, and the Environment (R2E2), led by Professor Donald T. Hornstein, is hosting a conference bringing together national and international leaders in climate risk, insurance, and energy at the Carolina Inn. The speaker lineup includes Roy Wright, president of the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety and former head of FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program, former California Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones, specialists from the World Bank, Marsh, and Hannover Re, and two Carolina Law alumni discussing the Duke Energy rate case.

NC Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey and Dean Andy Hessick will open the event, with a video welcome from Governor Josh Stein. 🩵

What's it actually like to practice law in the military? On Wednesday, Carolina Law and UNC VALOR hosted "A Day in the Life of a JAG Attorney," bringing together four guest speakers to answer exactly that. 🎖️

CAPT Andrew House (US Navy, double Tar Heel, '93 undergrad and '97 law school), CPT Josalyn Ayuso-Holloway (US Army), Capt Keith Collett (US Air Force), and 1Lt Margaret Thompson (US Air Force) talked day-to-day JAG life, why they chose the path, and why they stayed. The second half opened up to student questions, moderated by our own Jack Tichenor.

We’re grateful to our panelists for sharing their time and perspective with our students!

On Wednesday night, Associate Professor Marcus Gadson, Adjunct Professor Charles Plambeck, Dean Andy Hessick and UNC historian Harry L. Watson took the stage at Wilson Library to close our two-part series on the North Carolina Constitution.

Together they examined the 1868 Constitution, which rebuilt the state after the Civil War and still shapes North Carolina law today. Thank you to the UNC History Department and University Libraries for partnering with us to mark America's 250th, and to everyone who joined us! 🤝
