I am grateful for the opportunity to have been promoted to the rank of major in the United States Air Force. This does not happen without the blessing of having wonderfully supportive family and friends. Thanks to everyone!

It is a privilege to serve on the North Carolina Court of Appeals, and one of the genuine joys of the job is swearing in new attorneys as members of the State Bar. Welcome to the profession!

As we approach the end of the summer, I want to take a moment to thank all of my wonderful interns for their dedication and hard work. It is one of the great honors of my position to welcome interns and externs into my chambers at the North Carolina Court of Appeals. Their sharp analysis, positive energy, and commitment made a real difference this summer. As they head back to school, I have high expectations for each of them and wish them the very best of luck in the semester ahead. The future of the profession looks bright with people like you in it.

Excellent celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence this weekend, including my new favorite performance of the national anthem. Fantastic work by the @meckgop. I was honored to introduce Michael Whatley, Chairman of the RNC, as our speaker. Great to see everyone there!

An important responsibility of judges on the North Carolina Court of Appeals is to hire good law clerks. I am blessed to have exceptional law clerks in my chambers. They are the future leaders of the legal profession.

The latest episode of All Things Judicial: Beyond the Bench takes listeners out of the courtroom and into the heart of disaster recovery. The podcast features a conversation with North Carolina Court of Appeals Judge Michael Stading and law clerks Vincenzo Conciatori and Tomas Nazer-Paniagua who stepped away from their usual roles in the judiciary to volunteer in Western North Carolina following the devastation of Hurricane Helene.
