Overview
Founded in 1976 and originally located on Campbell University's main campus in Buies Creek, North Carolina, the law school relocated to downtown Raleigh in 2009 to give students greater access to courts, government offices, and the state's legal community. It was renamed in honor of Norman Adrian Wiggins, a former Campbell University president instrumental in founding the school. The school has built a reputation for its emphasis on practical, hands-on legal training, particularly in trial advocacy, and consistently ranks among the top programs nationally for advocacy skills training.
