Named after Campbell University's third president who was integral in its creation, the Norman Adrian Wiggins School has plans to move from its current home in Buies Creek to a new campus in Raleigh in fall 2009. The planned facilities are closer to state and federal courts, as well as within reach of North Carolina's Research Triangle. Academically, Campbell Law focuses on practical skills, particularly through its strong trial advocacy department. In fact, students are required to participate in the advocacy program's mock trial course in their second year.

The mandatory participation in mock trials in addition to other preset classes means that Campbell Law's curriculum is particularly requirement-heavy. Over two-thirds of the 90 credit hours in the program are devoted to predetermined classes. In Vault's Buzz Book surveys, students report that the school is harder to stay in than get in, with a workload that can be overwhelming and a relatively low C curve, and note the lack of academic advising presence on campus.

Campbell Law has a good regional reputation, but little national recruiting presence. Most students go on to small- or mid-sized firms in the Southeast. Campbell Law is hoping that the move to Raleigh will improve career prospects as well as quality of life; its current location is inexpensive, but fairly quiet. Clubs and fraternities are the locus of the student social scene at Campbell Law, organizing regular mixers and parties.
