Bet you didn't know that in 2013 a sequel to Space Jam was filmed in Raleigh starring three then-unknown hoopers. Ultimately Warner Brothers opted to scrap the nearly finished film and replaced the hoopers with LeBron James. Space Jam 2 was finally released in 2021. #ncpol

"God sent his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins, and it's by His grace that we all are gathered here today, so let's replace anger with love towards Arkansas sports." John Tyson opened his appearance at the Little Rock Touchdown Club with this message and got a standing ovation for it. A good reminder for everyone right now. #WPS

October is National Pro Bono Month, and we’d like to express how much we appreciate the Pro Bono work of the attorneys, paralegals, and law students who help people who cannot afford to hire a lawyer. We celebrate this month as a time to reflect on the meaningful work our legal professionals do for the good of all North Carolinians. #NCProBono

Don’t be a victim of a jury duty scam! No matter how real it may seem, law enforcement officers will NEVER call accusing you of missing jury duty and demanding a fine be paid via digital currency and/or gift cards. Learn more about jury duty scams here: buff.ly/FviBmYo #ScamAlert
