ELON UNIVERSITY — North Carolina’s top jurist has named an Elon Law faculty member to a commission that supports activities aimed at building good character and virtuous attitudes in the state’s legal community. Chief Justice Paul Newby of the Supreme Court of North Carolina appointed Professor Scott Gaylord to the North Carolina Chief Justice’s Commission on Professionalism, established in 1998 to “provide ongoing attention and assistance to ensure the practice of law remains a high calling, dedicated to the service of clients and the public good.” Gaylord’s three-year term will see him work closely with Newby, trial and appellate judges, and select North Carolina lawyers on programs.
