LUMBERTON — Williams Baldridge Britt was sworn in to the North Carolina State Bar on Wednesday by the Special Superior Court Judge J. Stanley Carmical.
Britt is the son of Fordham and Johnson Britt, who retired as Robeson County district attorney in January after 24 years in that position. He is now a fourth-generation lawyer in the Britt family, following in the footsteps of his great-grandfather Luther J. Britt, his grandfather and former state senator Luther J. Britt Jr. and his father.
Britt graduated from Lumberton Senior High School. He received his undergraduate degree from Wake Forest University in 2014, and in May 2019 he received his juris doctorate with honors from Campbell University.
While in law school, Britt was selected to one of the law school’s trial competition teams, and his team competed in the Capitol City Challenge at American University in Washington, D.C. He and his partner won Campbell’s Fall 2018 Client Counseling Competition and advanced to the American Bar Association’s Regional Competition, hosted by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Law School, where they finished second to the eventual national and international winner.
The younger Britt said he is excited about entering the legal profession and “looks forward to this new chapter and challenge in his life.”
