High Point University’s Kenneth F. Kahn School of Law is pleased to welcome Betty Bobbitt Byrne to the law school community as Clinical Associate Professor and Director of Academic and Bar Support. Joining the law school at the beginning of the semester, Betty Bobbitt brings a wealth of experience in academic and bar support, private law practice, and leadership development to her new role.
“Betty Bobbitt brings an exceptional combination of legal experience, academic support expertise, and a genuine passion for helping students succeed,” said Dean Mark Martin. “As we prepare our inaugural class for the bar examination and continue to build a law school committed to professional excellence, her experience and student-centered approach will be invaluable.”
Betty Bobbitt is passionate about legal education and helping law students make meaningful connections between what they learn in the classroom and how that knowledge is applied in real-world legal practice. In her role as Director of Academic and Bar Support, she will work closely with students and faculty to strengthen academic success and help prepare students for the challenges of the bar examination and the practice of law.
Byrne said, “I am honored to join the High Point University community and the Kenneth F. Kahn School of Law. I look forward to working with talented students and colleagues as we continue to provide an exceptional legal education and prepare future leaders in the profession.”
A native Tar Heel, Betty Bobbitt is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. While her professional credentials are an important part of her story, she also brings plenty of personality to the High Point Law community. For starters, Betty Bobbitt is a double first name—and she goes by both names. Outside of the law school, Betty Bobbitt is equally passionate about two very different pursuits: needlepoint and mahjong. In fact, she is happy to teach either to anyone interested in learning.
Betty Bobbitt also carries with her a piece of advice that has guided her throughout her life. A favorite quote of hers, generally attributed to Arthur Ashe, echoes her father’s advice when she was deciding whether to attend law school: “Use what talent you’ve been given. Do everything you can with it, and you will be more successful than many who have more.”
As the Kenneth F. Kahn School of Law continues to grow, Betty Bobbitt’s experience, enthusiasm, and student-centered approach will be a valuable addition to the community. High Point Law is delighted to welcome Betty Bobbitt Byrne and looks forward to the many ways she will contribute to the success of its students and faculty.
