McIntyre-Whichard Legal Fellows Program

The McIntyre-Whichard Legal Fellows Program is named in honor of two prominent UNC Law alumni: retired U.S. Congressman Douglas Carmichael “Mike” McIntyre (’78 BA, ’81 JD) and retired North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Willis Whichard (’62 BA, ’65 JD), both of whom have served as mentors in the program. The careers of Justice Whichard and Congressman McIntyre offer Carolina Law students an example of what it means to apply faith-based values to the practice of law throughout a lifetime of justice-oriented servant leadership (Mark 10:42-45).

In the spirit of that legacy, the McIntyre-Whichard Legal Fellows Program is established to foster a new generation of leaders by building relationships between law students and attorneys who have excelled in public and community service as well as the practice of law. In recognition of the impact Justice Whichard and Congressman McIntyre have had on the legal profession broadly and the Legal Fellows Program specifically, the mentorship initiative detailed herein shall be named the “McIntyre-Whichard Legal Fellows Program” in perpetuity.
