In honor of Women’s History Month, we are proud to highlight the legacy of Professor Emerita Rhoda Billings (JD ’66).
In 1966, Professor Billings graduated from Wake Forest Law as the only woman and first in her class. She later returned in 1973 as the Law School’s first female faculty member, helping shape generations of students. A trailblazer in both legal education and the North Carolina judiciary, Professor Billing’s impact on Wake Forest Law and the legal profession continues to inspire.
