Abstract:
By 1948, only two North Carolinians had served as members of the Supreme Court. James Iredell was the first appointed followed by Alfred Moore, the focus of this article. The author supplies a brief familial history, charting the Moores back to the mid-18th-century in the lower Cape Fear region. The account of Alfred Moore's life touches on his previous military experience during the American Revolution and judicial career beginning as a lawyer, to Attorney General of the state, until then finally a Supreme Court Justice.
