CHARLOTTE, NC — The Charlotte School of Law sent out a statement Thursday afternoon to officially announce they’re shutting down.
The statement read:
“We regret to announce that after months of extraordinary effort, Charlotte School of Law no longer has a path forward. On August 11, 2017, the school’s license to offer programs of study in North Carolina expired. Despite negative, often misleading headlines, we vigorously pursued ways to keep the school open and protect the interests of our students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
We are heartbroken that we were unable to achieve the desired outcome. This closure has disrupted the lives of everyone in the CharlotteLaw community, particularly impacting our students’ dreams of achieving their educational and career goals. We are continuing to work diligently to help our remaining students find opportunities to complete their legal education.
While this announcement is difficult to share, it does not undermine the accomplishments of our many successful graduates or the valuable contributions of the students, alumni, staff, and faculty to the community throughout our eleven years. Even though the doors of the school are closing, the good work of CharlotteLaw graduates will continue to positively impact the communities they serve.
We are proud to have been Charlotte’s law school.”
The president of the school’s alumni association, Lee Robertson, sent out an email earlier this month announcing the closure, but this is the first official statement released by the Charlotte School of Law.
