UNC Provost Magnus Egerstedt visited Carolina Law on May 29 as part of his ongoing listening tour of university schools and units, spending two hours meeting with Dean Andy Hessick, faculty, staff, and students across the building.

The visit was the first time Egerstedt had toured the law school in his role as provost and the first time he and Hessick had met on the law school’s home ground since Hessick became dean. Together, the two new leaders used the morning to take stock of what Carolina Law is building.

Egerstedt moved through the school meeting faculty and staff working across several of its signature programs, including its clinical and experiential offerings, the library, and its centers and programs focused on areas including immigration, military and veterans law, climate and energy, banking and finance, and tax. Along the way, he stopped to chat with students studying for the bar exam.

Carolina Law students provided more than 4,800 hours of free legal services this year through the school’s clinics, externships, and nationally recognized pro bono program, including work supporting victims of Hurricane Helene. Egerstedt also learned about new AI literacy courses that will be required for all incoming students, preparing future Carolina Law graduates to work with emerging tools already reshaping the legal profession.

The visit was stop 16 on the provost’s Carolina Listening Tour.
