Abstract:

Richmond Hill was home to Richmond Mumford Pearson, Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court from 1858-1878. It was there that he held a unique law school, teaching more than 1,000 students in a twenty-year period. The building still stands today but is in a bad state of repair and is slowly falling into ruin.
