Campbell Law Reporter

This episode takes you inside the Veterans Legal Clinic at Campbell Law School, where students advocate for veterans seeking to correct their discharge classifications and access earned benefits. Discharge status can determine eligibility for health care, housing assistance, and more—making this work both technically demanding and deeply meaningful.

We hear firsthand from students about the challenges, skills, and moments that inspire. Joining us are Anna Diorio, Casey Monaghan, Brian Horvick, and our Editor-Host, Brittany Swanger.

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year Legal Camels. Listen along with your new host, Brittany Swanger, in conversation with Campbell Law's Pro Bono Council Executive Director, Emma Baynard, discussing all the exciting ways to gain invaluable legal practice while also supporting our community through one of the pro bono projects.

The episode was created by Campbell Law students Andrea Renegar-King, Laurel Szalkowski, Kendall Barbour, and Olivia Reiff. Their discussion provides a nuanced examination of the legal, ethical, and practical implications of school vouchers, incorporating diverse perspectives to encourage informed dialogue.

In this episode alumnae Madeleine Goldman and Cameron Tulloss talk about how the slave to prison pipeline has been used to deplete the human battery and exploit status based labor for economic gain. 

On this episode, Garrett Anderson ‘25 and Taryn Wilkins ‘25 talk about Campbell’s current pro-bono initiatives and about Campbell’s bike ride happening this weekend!

On this episode of the Campbell Law Reporter, some of our most recent alumni Kelly Chauvin Kramarenko '24, Mattie Ferguson '24, Jordan Turner '24 and Joanna Marie Diaz '24 explore rank-choice voting. In anticipation of the upcoming election, take a listen to hear more about the "Quest for a Fairer Ballot," a podcast that was created for Professor Suzanna Geiser's Civil Rights class. 

On this week's episode, students Madelyn Bruckel, Corey Alcivar, Clara Ellington, and Kyndall Shaw talk about ballot initiatives and the impact of direct democracy on civil rights. To learn more about what they are and how they work, they interviewed Professor Terri Enns, a law professor at  Moritz School of Law at Ohio State. Professor Enns discussed the function of ballot initiatives, the process for getting issues on the ballot, and the pros and cons of this form of direct democracy. Nicole Morino, a reproductive rights activist through Catholics for Choice, spoke to us about her role in the recent election in Ohio where citizens voted to amend the state constitution to include the right to reproductive choice. Next, because ballot initiatives are not available in North Carolina, they spoke to Campbell's own Professor Rick Glazier to learn what North Carolinians can do to have their voices heard. Finally, they spoke with Miguel Hernandez to learn about the downsides of ballot initiatives and how language can be used to misguide voters.
