RALEIGH — Campbell Law School is saddened to announce the passing of Charles “Charlie” Fuller Blanchard.
In February 2018, the law school’s impactful Blanchard Community Law Clinic was named in honor of the legal pioneer and servant leader.
“The impact of Charlie’s support of the Blanchard Community Law Clinic, which carries his name, cannot be overstated,” explained Clinic Director Ashley Campbell. “With his generous contribution, we have trained more than 100 lawyers, and have attempted to imbue them with the qualities that Charlie exemplified – character, intelligence, professionalism, kindness and leadership. With Charlie’s gift, we have changed the lives of hundreds of low-income people for the better. We have engaged volunteer lawyers in service to their community, as Charlie encouraged us to do. We are honored to carry his name and will forever be grateful that he shared it with us. We send our love and support to his family especially his daughter Anna Neal.”
