What’s Happening at Wake Forest Law
Meet Garrett Sward, web & report developer at Wake Forest Law! Garrett earned his bachelor of science degree in computer science and engineering from @uconn. He has been working at Wake Forest Law since April 2024.
“My favorite part about working at Wake Forest University has been getting to know people from all different areas across campus,” says Garrett. “My favorite experiences so far have been volunteering in the community garden (organized by Outdoor Learning Spaces Coordinator and fellow Connecticut native Sarah Rodgers) and building people-forward, impactful web applications under the guidance and mentorship of Trevor Hughes and Matt Nelkin. It`s been lovely working in the Law Library. It`s so cozy and is exactly the kind of place I hoped to end up as a kid. I`m really excited to keep meeting people and exploring opportunities to get involved in campus life. Also, the Reynolda campus is absolutely stunning!”
We are glad to have you on our staff, Garrett!

Did you know September 17 is Constitution Day? Commemorating the signing of the Constitution in 1787, the day recognizes the adoption of the U.S. Constitution and those who have become U.S. citizens.
Wake Forest Law hosted a panel event around the theme of "Technology and the Constitution." The panel, which included Professor April G. Dawson, Professor Raina Haque, Professor David Levine, and was moderated by Professor Keith Robinson (@wkeithrobinson), explored the intersection of technology and constitutional rights. Panelists discussed Section 230, the case against TikTok, the ethical implications of artificial intelligence, privacy, national security, First Amendment rights, and their predictions for the future of technology.

Wake Forest Law Professor Ellen Murphy, along with JD students Jack Cordell, and Oliver Xu, recently conducted a CLE presentation for the Mecklenburg Bar on AI. In addition to assisting Professor Murphy with research, Jack and Oliver demonstrated common lawyer-used AI tools during the presentation. 🙌 🙌 #AI #LegalDeacs
Current students, faculty, staff, and local Law alumni were invited to Legal Deacon Dialogue: Insights from the Bench today.
The event included a conversation with Federal Judge Raag Singhal (JD `89) of the southern district of Florida and Chief U.S. District Judge Elizabeth Dillon (JD `86) of the western district of Virginia as they explored the core aspects of public service and the judicial experience. The conversation was moderated by Professor Emeritus Charley Rose.
Thank you, Judge Dillon, Judge Singhal, and Professor Rose, for this enlightening conversation!
