A Message from Dean Dennis Stone
Welcome to Charlotte School of Law and the city of Charlotte,
commercial center for the fastest-growing, most vibrant areas in the southeast.
One glance at a news website, newspaper or news magazine will reveal the
importance of law in a changing environment. Few economic, social or political
issues get explored very long without some reference to law or legal process.
Pursuing a law degree is thus a rewarding and satisfying experience. This is
particularly true at CharlotteLaw, which combines a traditional curriculum with
a focus on professional preparedness. This approach, combined with a strong
connection with the legal community, provides students with opportunities to
develop important skills and to be prepared for the rigors of law practice upon
graduation.
In the past several years the CharlotteLaw student body has
grown both in size and diversity. Our students come from over 46 states. Our
faculty has grown to include both scholars and practitioners - all dedicated to
the school’s mission to maintain a student centered focus that promotes
professional preparedness and serves underrepresented communities. CharlotteLaw
is provisionally approved by the American Bar Association, meaning our graduates
can sit for the Bar in most every state in the country. In August of 2008, the
school moved to a new state-of-the-art facility in West Charlotte that focuses
on the student experience by incorporating the latest in technology and an
emphasis on a collaborative learning environment.
CharlotteLaw is committed to student success, insuring that its
traditional curriculum includes skills training and thorough preparation for the
bar examination. Students also have access to externships and internships in the
area’s legal system, experiences that greatly enhance career growth and
success.
I welcome you to learn more about our school. We encourage you
to visit our campus, observe a class, and talk with our faculty and current
students to discover for yourself the CharlotteLaw difference.
Best,
Dean Dennis Stone
