The deadline for submitting certification applications has been extended to May 10, 2025.

Legal Specialization created the Jeri Whitfield Scholarship through NC LEAF to pay the application fees for public interest lawyers who pursue initial certification. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to NC LEAF.

Congratulations to the new specialists! These lawyers met all of the requirements to be certified by the Board of Legal Specialization on December 6, 2024.

All board certified specialists should have received an annual fee notice OR a recertification notice on July 1, 2024, via email.

The Board of Legal Specialization extends deep gratitude to Jan E. Pritchett for his service on the board, and welcomes Matthew Ladenheim, a trademark specialist from Charlotte, as the incoming chair.
