About R Lynn
R Lynn Coleman moved from an undergraduate degree at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill into law school at Campbell. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Relations and Political Science in 1973 and completed a Juris Doctor at Campbell Law School in 1980. Those credentials anchored a long career in North Carolina law.
Coleman is admitted to practice in North Carolina and also holds admission to appear before the U.S. Supreme Court. He began practicing after law school in the early 1980s and has worked through multiple decades of change in the courts and in legal practice. He has appeared in matters that required navigation of state and federal rules and has maintained the credentials to take cases to the nation's highest court when appropriate.
His work has involved courtroom appearances, client counseling, and filings in both trial and appellate settings. He has handled disputes that required attention to procedural detail and to statutory interpretation. Colleagues describe him as methodical in court preparation and precise in legal writing. He has combined courtroom work with case management and client-facing responsibilities throughout his career.
Over the years Coleman has practiced under shifting professional landscapes. Rules, technology, and courtroom procedures evolved, and he adapted his practice accordingly. He has represented clients in matters that touched on local and regional concerns and has litigated in venues across North Carolina. Admission to the U.S. Supreme Court reflects the procedural breadth of his qualifications rather than any single type of casework.
Today, Coleman continues to practice in North Carolina. He remains available for matters in state and federal courts and holds the credential to appear before the U.S. Supreme Court when required. His current practice concentrates on representing clients in matters brought in North Carolina courts and in filings that may reach federal forums.
