Thank you for your interest in High Point University School of Law.
Like me, you’re clearly someone seeking to make a difference with your legal education. As former Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court, I’ve been fortunate to work with the best attorneys, legal scholars, and jurists in the nation. Through my previous work as a law school Dean and a faculty member at three other institutions, I’ve seen the great opportunity that exists to provide a legal education that is truly extraordinary. I look forward to working with a broad array of extraordinary legal scholars and leaders to build a law school of distinction—one with a national reputation for excellence and that educates lawyers of integrity who are leaders committed to promote justice and serve the common good. Come join us.
-Chief Justice Mark Martin-
