1983 SESSION
RATIFIED BILL
RESOLUTION 25
Whereas, for the last twenty years the National Judicial College has been the leading judicial educational and training institution in the United States; and
Whereas, the National Judicial College has educated and trained more than twenty thousand judges at its only location on the University of Nevada-Reno campus; and
Whereas, the National Judicial College is undertaking a trial program at Wake Forest University to determine the feasibility of establishing an eastern location; and
Whereas, Carroll W. Weathers, who died on February 26, 1983, was the Dean of the Wake Forest University School of Law from 1950 until 1970 and the new location for the National Judicial College would be a fitting memorial honoring his memory; and
Whereas, his students and colleagues thought so much of Dean Weathers that the dedication of Volume 8, Number 2 of the Wake Forest Law Review stated:
"Most men have respect for honesty; Dean Weathers had a passion for it. Most men want to see justice done; Dean Weathers insisted upon it. Most men have a good purpose in what they do; Dean Weathers had a noble one. Most men are aware of the problems of their fellow man; Dean Weathers cared."; and
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
Section 1. The General Assembly of North Carolina welcomes the National Judicial College to North Carolina and urges it to establish a permanent eastern location at Wake Forest University honoring the memory of Dean Carroll W. Weathers.
Sec. 2. This resolution is effective upon ratification.
