We`re excited to see where this journey takes you.
Happy first day of class, #LegalDeacs! #FDOC 💛🖤🎩
Yesterday, Wake Forest Law`s incoming students wrapped up Foundations Week by volunteering at sites throughout the community.
This year`s volunteer locations included Forsyth Humane Society, LEAD Girls of NC, Senior Services & Williams Adult Day Center, Habitat for Humanity Restore, A Bed and A Book, Second Harvest Food Bank, Bookmarks, Kaleideum, Old Fellows Cemetery, and SECU Family House.
A special thanks to our partners for making the day possible!
The modern workplace is full of moments that require legal awareness.
Maybe you`re reviewing a contract. Managing a workplace issue. Evaluating a compliance concern. Navigating new regulations. You may not be an attorney, but understanding the legal landscape can help you lead more effectively.
The online Master of Legal Studies from Wake Forest Law helps professionals develop practical legal knowledge they can apply every day.
