A trailblazing North Carolina legal leader has joined the Elon University School of Law faculty as the university’s first named recipient of the Justice Sandra Day O’Connor endowed professorship.
The Hon. Cheri Beasley, who in 2019 became the first African-American woman to serve as chief justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court, will teach courses on appellate practice over the next year while delivering a public lecture and contributing to professional development opportunities for students and faculty alike.
“Chief Justice Beasley’s state and national leadership as a judge and her commitment to civic engagement make her an ideal professor for Elon Law students,” said Elon University President Connie Ledoux Book. “Like the law students, I also look forward to learning from her deep knowledge of the law and judicial process during future campus conversations.”
