4 NCCU roommates brought together by fate, share journey becoming judges

DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) — Four young women, who first met at North Carolina Central’s Law School 20 years ago, never knew how important they would be to the success of each other.
They started out as classmates living in a dorm. Then, they all graduated and became successful attorneys.
Today, they’re all judges. ‘The Golden Girls,’ as they call themselves, still rely on each other’s support today just as they did back then.
Judge Shamieka Rhinehart, Judge Camille Banks-Prince, Judge Keisha Wright-Hill and Judge Teresa Raquel Robinson-Freeman’s friendship began in a courtroom on the campus of North Carolina Central University Law School.
They had all gathered there for freshman orientation in August of 1998. “We became fast friends very early,” said Bank-Prince.
This tight group would eventually work their way up from moot court to the bench. Three out of the four women are now in elected positions, but judgeships were never in their original plan. “We just wanted to get through law school,” said Rhinehart.
During law school, the friends bonded in Mclean Hall over good food. The judges said they cooked full meals, mostly in the microwave back then, and they watched marathons of the hit show ‘The Golden Girls.’
One day the women took an online quiz that would officially determine which character each one would be. “Once they all played the game with me and it came back revealing that this would be Blanche, that this would be Dorothy, this would be Sophia and this would be Rose, they bought in and the rest is history,” said Banks-Prince.
The women supported each other through triumph and tragedy.
During their first year, Wright-Hill lost her father and left school, but the group convinced her to return. “Because of them I’m here today, not just as an attorney, but as a judge,” said Wright-Hill. “And the parallel there is the character Dorothy left the show and the show was never the same without her. Our Dorothy came back,” Banks-Prince explained.
Wright-Hill is now seeing first hand the impact diversity on the bench can have. She remembers when a child entered her courtroom for the first time. “He peeked his head in and said, she is Black. He was surprised because he’d never seen a Black judge,” Wright-Hill said.
“It is equally important to have diversity of age which we are all younger in our careers, but also diversity of thought process and background and experiences,” said Robinson-Freeman. “It’s about justice and justice should include everyone,” Rhinehart added.
For these judges, NCCU Law changed everything. They want everyone to know how their alma mater has made a difference. “The power of HBCU’s and making sure individuals that look like us have a seat at the table for education. Think about how awesome this is,” Rhinehart said.
The judges have 10 children between all of them. They say being on the bench can be very stressful, so they focus on prayer, getting lots of exercise as well as giving back to NCCU.

.@tedcruz Save us your concern about what’s happening in Florida. What need focusing on is you hiring a developer that @facebook banned & is under investigation in Europe for using stolen user data. What did they do for your campaign? #ElectionResults2018

He doesn’t want First Lady Obama to do the dozens on him. He is not verbally astute enough to try to go off on her. She would make mince meat out of him. Gosh he is soooooo stupid!
