Board Certified Specialist in Real Property Law in North Carolina - Real estate law was first proposed as a potential specialty area to the North Carolina Bar in 1982. Real estate law was divided into subcategories of commercial real estate and residential real estate in October of 1985.
Thereafter, the North Carolina State Bar Board of Legal Specialization designated real property law, including the subspecialties of real property-residential transactions and real property-business, commercial, and industrial transactions as a field of law for certification of specialists under the North Carolina Plan of Legal Specialization.
