High Point Law is pleased to announce that Caleb Knox, Class of 2027, has accepted a federal judicial internship with the Honorable Paul Matey at the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit during the summer of 2026. This position follows a distinguished first-year, where Mr. Knox served with the Virginia Office of the Attorney General and was accepted into the prestigious Blackstone Legal Fellowship program.
“Without the mentorship of the High Point Law faculty, the assistance of the Career Development Office, and specifically Dean Mark Martin’s guidance, these opportunities would not have been possible,” said Caleb. “I look forward to increasing my understanding and knowledge of appellate practice while interning for Judge Matey.”
High Point Law distinguishes itself by offering a unique educational experience: every student who wants a legal internship is guaranteed one. In its inaugural year, the Career Development Office successfully placed 100% of participating students, including more than 30 judicial internships.
Dean Mark Martin, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, noted that Mr. Knox’s achievement fulfills one of the school’s primary missions: to produce practice-ready law graduates.
“Caleb’s internship at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit is a testament to his individual academic rigor and hard work,” Dean Martin stated. “At High Point Law, we pair a rigorous curriculum with exceptional career support. Our guaranteed internship program remains a rare institutional commitment in legal education, ensuring every student has a definitive pathway to experiential opportunities.”
