Charlotte Law Finally Gets Around To Telling Students The School Is Closing

Another law school (officially) bites the dust.

A little more than one week ago, word began to spread that the Charlotte School of Law would be closing its doors, “effective immediately.” This disappointing news came not from the law school itself, but from the president of its alumni association. Since that time, there has been no official announcement from the school about its closure — until today.

This morning, Interim Dean Paul Meggett notified students and alumni via email that the school “no longer has a path forward,” and would officially begin winding down its operations. Take a look at what the dean’s parting words were:

In an interview with the Charlotte Business Journal, Dean Meggett said of the closure, “Unfortunately, we have to. I don’t think we can avoid that at this point. This is not because we want to, it’s because we have to.”

Charlotte Law is the second law school to close in 2017, after Whittier Law in April. In late 2016, Indiana Tech Law closed.

We will have another update on Charlotte Law’s final chapter sometime soon. If you have any additional insights, please contact us via email (subject line: “Charlotte Law Closure”), text (646-820-8477), or tweet (@atlblog).
