High Point Law was highlighted for its commitment to intellectual diversity in a recent article<\/a> published by the Carolina Journal<\/em>, a North Carolina based publication that features articles on politics, education, health care, regulations, taxes, and other issues since its founding in 1991. Titled \u201cIt\u2019s not all bad news on intellectual diversity,\u201d the article was published in response to another report<\/a> by the Carolina Journal <\/em>discussing a systemic lack of viewpoint diversity in U.S. law schools.<\/p>\n

HPU Law was positively noted as a counter-example to this norm, and the article pointed to the law school\u2019s diverse faculty<\/a> as evidence of its commitment to intellectual diversity.\u00a0Fostering viewpoint diversity has indeed been a conscious effort at High Point Law and, in fact, is one of the school\u2019s core values. As Founding Dean and Professor of Law Mark Martin notes in his Dean’s Welcome Message<\/a> on this website:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe will not teach our students to see the law and the world a certain way; rather, we will inspire our students to develop the skills necessary for them to craft their own values and beliefs and, most importantly, to respect the views of others. You will learn different ways of interpreting the law, of understanding the role of law in our society, and of approaching your professional obligations as a lawyer. High Point Law will prepare you to navigate differences of opinion, diversity of experience, and varied interpretations in the ongoing search for the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In furtherance of this mission, High Point Law will offer programming\u2014beginning with the inaugural class this fall\u2014to help students learn how best to have difficult conversations and handle disagreement so that they can serve as lawyer-leaders who will promote civility, goodwill, and graciousness in their communities and in the legal profession.<\/p>\n
