We had a chance to catch up with Alyssa Millane, WFU Law Class of 2028, and see what she’s been up to this summer. Here’s what she had to say:
“At the Mecklenburg County Public Defender’s Office, we spend our days in court with our supervising attorneys, interviewing clients, police officers, and prosecuting witnesses. We also meet with clients in jail to provide case updates, conduct legal research on niche issues in support of dismissal, review discovery, and draft motions and other court documents. Outside of the office, us interns hang out and explore Charlotte together on the weekends.”
We love seeing our students thrive in their summer legal positions, but we can’t wait to have them back in August!
Thank you for giving us an inside look at your summer Alyssa ✨
We feel some type of way too 🫠🤣

Today Dean Scott and Assistant Director Crimmins worked with the women’s volleyball team on conflict resolution. Not just theory, but real scenarios and skills they can take into school, athletics, and life. 🏐 🤝🏛️
Thank you to @wakevolleyball @developingdeacs for having Law OCPD! We hope to collaborate and connect with student athletes more!
On June 19, 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas and announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state were finally free by executive decree, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect. This day became known as “Juneteenth” to the newly freed people in Texas.
We reflect on this history and the long road to freedom for all. Want to learn more about the legacy of Juneteenth? Visit the National Museum of African American History and Culture’s website: https://nmaahc.si.edu/explore/stories/historical-legacy-juneteenth
