RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA — Campbell Law School Adjunct Professor Rick Glazier, former state legislator and executive director of the N.C. Justice Center, will become the director of Campbell Law’s Blanchard Community Law Clinic (BCLC) effective Jan. 1, 2023, Dean J. Rich Leonard announced today.

The clinic’s mission is to help individuals being served by local nonprofits remove legal barriers to housing and employment. Since the clinic opened in fall 2017, law students staffing the clinic have served more than 700 low-income clients while also gaining important client counseling and trial skills.

“His leadership at the N.C. Justice Center coupled with the fact he has been teaching at the law school for nearly three decades makes Rick the absolute perfect person to continue leading our students in this venture,” Leonard said. “His passion for helping those in need is unquestioned. His willingness to serve in this role will have an immense impact on our students as well as members of the community who find themselves in dire straits.”

Glazier, who has been teaching as an adjunct professor at Campbell Law since 1991, joined the Justice Center in the summer of 2015 following his resignation from the N.C. General Assembly after 13 years representing Cumberland County in the N.C. House of Representatives from 2003-2015. As a representative, Glazier served on the House judiciary, education, ethics and appropriations committees, among others.
