Notable Alumni
The more than 9,300 alumni of the school have gone on to many notable roles, including countless government offices in North Carolina. Among these are several recent NC governors (Hunt, Holshouser, Moore, and Sanford), and (as of the 2011 term) all seven North Carolina Supreme Court justices (Parker, Martin, Edmunds, Newby, Timmons-Goodson, Hudson, and Jackson), and a number of former and current U.S. Senators and Congressmen. Former U.S. Senator from North Carolina and 2004 Democratic Vice Presidential nominee John Edwards and his wife Elizabeth met at the law school and graduated in 1977. Pulitzer-prize winning journalist Michael York and disgraced prosecutor of the Duke Lacrosse hoax, Mike Nifong, graduated in 1978.

Famous quotes containing the word notable:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
