How is it that a young lawyer who joined a little committee to look at whether we had 100 lawyers in the state to make up a Section called Antitrust and Trade Regulation could go from that moment in time to this moment in time?
I asked this question at last year’s Annual Meeting after becoming President-elect of the North Carolina Bar Association. Serving in this role is an honor beyond words.
The next Annual Meeting and 2019-20 Bar year fast approach. As incoming President of the North Carolina Bar Association and Foundation, I will soon have the privilege of making Committee appointments.

Chadwick McCullen’s pro bono work focuses on Wills for Heroes, a program that enables its volunteers to prepare essential legal documents — including wills, living wills, and powers of attorney — free of charge to North Carolina first responders (police officers, sheriff’s deputies, EMS, fire and rescue workers) and their spouses.
Register to volunteer for a Wills for Heroes clinic or find out how your organization can sponsor a clinic here.
McCullen’s work with the program began in 2010 when he volunteered at various clinics around the state. He, along with other volunteers, would meet with first responders and their spouses, discuss their estate planning needs, and prepare the appropriate documents. In 2016, he became a Young Lawyers Division co-chair of the project with Rebecca Rushton. As a co-chair, his work shifted to planning the clinics (securing a location, feeding the volunteers, advertising the clinic and scheduling clinic appointments) as well as training and providing legal support for the volunteers. This year, the YLD is partnering with the NC Bar Foundation to offer Wills For Heroes clinics, and McCullen is focusing his efforts on conducting volunteer training and serving as the lead Estate Planning Practitioner on site for clinic days.
