On behalf of the LAA, I would like to congratulate you. You started off during a tough time as students and many of you probably remember that first semester and what it was like during those times as of today, you are our newest members of the Law Alumni Association. We hope that you will be engaged that you will take part and that you will always be a part of UN C law School. Thanks to our wonderful faculty and our incredible staff. You are well prepared to begin your careers. Some of you will end up in private practice, some of you in public service, some of you in business, some of you in teaching some of you in clerkships. So you're gonna have a lot of opportunities to be engaged as you move through your life, as you're doing this. You will have these opportunities to also make a difference, not just as incredible lawyers who are well trained, but it's incredible leaders in your communities and in our state and in our nation. One of the things that I would recommend that you consider are the ways to give back the knowledge that you have gained you know how to analyze, you know, how to prioritize, you know, how to find solutions. When you do that for the lives of the people around you, you will make a lasting impact on them and a lasting difference in your community. Take advantage of those opportunities spread what Carolina Law has done for you throughout our area and our nation, your life will be much richer as a result of that. One of the things that, and, and you're gonna have to forgive me on a personal note, I'm an old guy and I've been so blessed to have a lot of opportunities and every time that I took advantage of one of those opportunities and I felt like I might have made a difference. It made me feel so good and made my life so much richer. So take advantage of those opportunities once again, on behalf of the LA A. Congratulations. Good afternoon. It is such an honor to have the opportunity to address this incredible group of people today, Carolina Law class of 2024. How are we feeling? My name is Wills Moyer. And I've had the privilege of serving as the Student Bar Association president for this past academic year. The Student Bar Association is the governing body for students and operates as the law school student government. I served as my class as president during our one hour and two years as well in these roles. I've had the opportunity to meet and connect with many of my fellow classmates and preparing for my remarks today. I've been reflecting on the past three years and what a transformational time it has been some days, I feel like I've been in law school for my entire lifetime in other days. It feels as if it has just started in the past three years. There were definitely times that I became so wrapped up in law school that I lost sight of its greater purpose to serve as a stepping stone in all of our legal careers. Law school is the last hurdle to becoming an attorney. Well, the second to last hurdle followed by one tiny more little hurdle passing the bar. But regardless, this 36 month journey is coming to a close. And I'd like to share some thoughts on the ways we have grown and developed during this time to start. There's intellectual growth while we do have some classmates who arrive to school already, having obtained advanced degrees. I think I speak for everyone. When I say the academic experience of law school has provided unique challenges and rigor for all of us. But I encourage us to also appreciate the sheer amount we have learned. And how far we have come equally important to the academic development is the personal growth in maturing. The class of 2024 has a wide age range spanning roughly 20 years and varying levels of professional experience in the past three years have gotten married, started, families, lost, loved ones, had Children broken up, made a whole lot of friends who knows, maybe even started a band, but none of us did this on our own. So thank you to all of our family and friends, both joining us today as well as those who are offering love and support from afar. We would not be here without you all. August 2021 was a hopeful time and not just for those of us beginning our journey as law students, the worst of the pandemic seemed to be behind us and life was starting to more closely resemble normal. I've always been grateful that we started our one hour classes in person or at least hybrid while zoom serves some great functions. It is not the best tool for community building. Much of the legal profession is inherently adversarial. But I think we as a class have done a good job of trying to engage in good faith discussion and not letting in class disagreements evolve into personal disputes. Fast forward through nine months of hard work. In May 2022 we took our last final of our first year constitutional law. Just a few weeks later, the subject itself underwent drastic change. As 40 years of precedent was overturned regardless of your personal stance on issues of reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy. I think everyone can agree. That was a timely moment to be studying how our individual rights are impacted by judicial interpretation. Our second year of law school offered more freedom to take courses better suited to our individual academic interest. One of Carolina Law's many strengths is the element of choose your own adventures. And it's been so inspiring to see and witness the various career aspirations and practice areas our classmates have chosen to pursue. I won't dwell too much on the two L experience. Um Some call it too l for a reason, but I think I can go out on a limb and say that most of us agree. It was a whole lot of work. I was grateful for my summer internship for reminding me that the end was in sight and a world beyond just reading cases and completing site checks existed where clients are actual people who need our help. Our three all year began in August 2023. Yet at the start of the semester before we'd even adjusted to our new class schedule, our community was devastated by the impact of gun violence. Many of us were in class when reports of an active shooter circulated and the UN C campus went into lockdown. Hours of uncertainty followed while we were fortunate enough to escape escape physical injury. It is a day that I know will stick with me for years to come as we hold doctor Ji Yen's family in our hearts forever though. No professor should ever be forced to worry about whether she or students will be gunned down as they sit in class. I'll always be grateful for Professor Thomas who helped comfort and calm a group, a classroom of 80 plus students. Finally, I'd be remiss not to acknowledge the absence of a dear friend and classmate of mine today, Jamie Marsicano has been unable to return to Un C's Campus after being indicted for criminal charges relating to public organizing in Atlanta, Georgia. I will not attempt to talk about the merits of the pending case but rather recognize how truly amazing it is that Jamie is still graduating on time. Despite these challenges, we all know that completing law school is hard enough. I think few of us can imagine the difficulty of finishing coursework while also aiding in your own defense. It has been unfortunate to see due process rights turned on their head and a shame that Jamie who is kind brilliant and welcoming was viewed with a presumption of guilt rather than innocence. Jamie's treatment by the UN C system is a reminder of the legal landscape that we are entering today. This is a precarious moment for the political environment of our state and the judicial integrity of the nation's highest courts. Despite some of this uncertainty, I'm confident that Carolina Law has prepared us well for what lies ahead. The title of lawyer carries recognition from the community as well as an expectation to counsel and advocate on behalf of those who need us. I truly feel honored to know each of you sitting before me and I'm excited to follow along and see what comes next in everyone's professional journey. It's been such a blessing to learn alongside y'all for the past three years. I'm forever grateful for this school and the relationship ships has brought me and the opportunities that will follow. Congratulations again to the class of 2024. We have a lot to be proud of. Thank you, Jim and Wheels. At this time, I have the honor of recognizing graduates who have distinguished themselves in various ways. First, I would like to recognize the 2024 inductees of the James E and Carolyn B Davis Society. The Davis Society is named for Jim and Carolyn Davis. Jim was a 1973 graduate of our law school who died only eight years after his graduation. Carolyn died two years later, the Davis family and friends established an award at Carolina Law to perpetuate their memory. The award recognizes each year eight outstanding third year students nominated by faculty staff and their peers who have demonstrated the qualities Jim and Carolyn Davis embraced and modeled this year. 39 members of the class of 2024 were nominated by faculty staff and fellow students from those nominees. Eight were selected as this year's Davis Society members. These students embody what it means to be a leader and to serve exceptional advocate, compassionate pillars of our community. These are just a few of the words that describe their generosity of spirit and their motivation to succeed. I invite each of the eight to stand and remain standing as I call out their names. Please hold your applause until the last name is read Jess Erico Cara Francois, Sonny Frothingham, Alexander Gooden, Jessica Hobbs. Hailey Mariano Wheels Moyer, Emily Zafer. Congratulations to each of you.

I'm meteorologist, Amy Wilm in the WRL severe weather center. Pretty nice weather today. A mix of sun and clouds with temperatures close to normal for this time of year. We reach 80 degrees in Raleigh and Durham, 79 in Rocky Mount. 81 for the high temperature in Fayetteville. If you want to have dinner outside this evening, it's going to be a lovely evening to do that at 7 p.m. We're in the mid seventies, mostly sunny skies, low seventies at 8 p.m. and then we're back down to the sixties by nine o'clock and certainly no rain in the forecast for today. For the next three days. The weather stays pretty quiet and the big story will be the warming of our temperatures 80 today, 84 Tuesday and then 88 for the high temperature on Wednesday. Once we get to the holiday weekend, that's when things turn unsettled and temperatures will drop a little bit. We have scattered storms in the forecast for Friday, especially Friday night. Saturday, scattered storms possible at any point in time, just a few spotty showers and storms Sunday and then we're back to some scattered storm chances on Monday, no day looks like a washout as of now. So keep checking back in and we'll have a better idea on the exact timing and amounts once we get to around Thursday or so, here's a look at Futurecast. This is for Thursday morning. It's a dry start to the day. But then Thursday night we have some scattered showers. So most of Thursday is dry. It's not until very late. We could see a few showers. Friday morning looks dry. Maybe you're hitting the road early on Friday for the long holiday weekend, it looks dry for most of the state. And then once we get to Friday evening, it's the western half of the state that has some storms for us. It'll be Friday night, an overnight Friday in early Saturday, we'll have a good opportunity for some rain and storms. Saturday morning, rain chances for us fairly slim and really across most of North Carolina rain, chances look pretty low Saturday morning. But then we get into the afternoon and evening, the peak heating and we'll have some scattered showers and thunderstorms. Sunday morning. We could have some rain along the North Carolina coast and then just some hit showers and storms across a good part of the state. But a lot of dry time as well. Monday for Memorial Day, we'll have some hit and miss showers and storms as well. So it's very quiet for the next few days with temperatures warming up. We're in the low nineties by Thursday and then temperatures back off a little bit over the weekend. But again, that does come with the potential for some scattered showers and storms.
