Sorvari Retires from Campbell Law School
|
K.C. Sorvari |
Effective July 1, Karen Christine “K.C.” Sorvari, of
Buies Creek, NC, will retire after 27 and ½ years at Campbell
University. Sorvari serves as associate professor of law and
director of the Law Library at Campbell’s Norman Adrian Wiggins
School of Law.
“She was the first, and so far has been the only, law
librarian at Campbell,” said Willis Whichard, dean of the Law School.
“The library without K.C. Sorvari is almost unthinkable.”
Sorvari graduated cum laude from Florida Atlantic
University in 1967 with a bachelor’s degree in English. She went on to
obtain an M.L.S. in Special Libraries from State University College at
Geneseo, NY. She received a law degree from the Norman Adrian Wiggins
School of Law in 1985.
Prior to coming to Campbell in 1977 as law librarian,
Sorvari served as acting librarian at the North Carolina Supreme Court
Library. She became an assistant professor of law in 1986 and an
associate professor in 1990. She was admitted to the North Carolina Bar
in 1985.
As Campbell’s law librarian, Sorvari serves as
administrative head of the library and manages Acquisitions and
Collection Development, as well as assisting with reference and computer
services.
She is a member of the American Bar Association, the
North Carolina Academy of Trial Lawyers, the Association of Trial
Lawyers of America, the American Association of Law Librarians, and the
Southeastern Association of Law Libraries. Sorvari recently achieved the
highest ranking for rules officials from the United States Golf
Association. She plans to do more officiating and painting in
watercolors in retirement.
Founded in 1976, the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law
has an enrollment of over 300 students and enjoys a heritage derived
from three distinct traditions-the noble tradition of the legal
profession, the Christian tradition, and the finer traditions of the
rural South, such as friendliness and self-reliance. It seeks to educate
lawyers who are prepared to serve their communities with legal skills
and ethical and intellectual leadership.
