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).
