The Legal Topics included on the pages listed in the left side menu highlight some common issues, but they are intended as general guidance and resources only and should not be interpreted as professional legal advice.

The OLA provides comprehensive legal advice and assistance to the UNC Charlotte Board of Trustees, the Chancellor, the other senior administrators of the University, and through them, to the University’s faculty and staff, only on legal matters involving or affecting the institution.
