On October 23, 2026, the Wake Forest Journal of Law and Policy (JLP) brought together legal scholars, health policy experts, and legislative advocates for their 2026 Symposium, "The Future of Medicaid and Rural Health in North Carolina."
The symposium examined the legal landscape surrounding Medicaid reform, rural hospital viability, and state innovation in rural health delivery to produce scholarships that meaningfully contribute to ongoing legislative debate and chart a path forward for North Carolina. @wfulawjlp

On Saturday, October 17, Trial Bar hosted a workshop on jury selection featuring Assistant District Attorney Matthew Breeding (JD `06) and Defense Attorney Emilia Beskind.
Over lunch, the speakers discussed what jury selection is and the best strategies for each side. Afterward, students were invited to watch a live jury selection demonstration or sit in the jury box as a mock juror. The workshop also provided an opportunity for students to connect with peers from other law schools.
