Review of Candidate Rulings (Source: Wake Forest School of Law Pro Bono Project)

A review of appellate decisions identified two cases in which Judge McCallum's orders were at least partially reversed or vacated on appea. The instances where her rulings were overturned involved a failure to make certain findings of fact or apply certain legal doctrines.
