The Civil Rights movement’s seeds were planted decades earlier and in historically black colleges such as Bennett. Here, Bennett Belles were inspired by campus leaders like David Dallas Jones as much as nationwide leaders like Vernon Johns. Education and race consciousness fortified them to help instill equality through campus and community activism.

Abstract:
Shepard recounted the development of the Chief Justice’s Commission on Professionalism since its inception in the late 1990s. Included in the recount is her examination of the Rules of Conduct, in place a dozen years before the CJCP, its predecessor, the Model Code. Also noted by Sheppard is the role that Watergate and North Carolina’s State Bar played in the legal profession nationally and locally since the 1970s. Her analysis of these elements collectively asserts the need for and benefit of professionalism standards for representatives of the legal profession.
