Davis, Thomas P.

Abstract:

Davis illustrates how North Carolina’s Supreme Court from the antebellum period to the Great Depression was heavily influenced by two factors. One is English law, the other three of the state’s law schools. The extent of this influence is examined in how individuals like William Blackstone contributed to the state legislative branch's development. It is also examined in how these law schools’ curricula impacted law reform.

Abstract:

Where the Deep and Haw rivers join to form the Cape Fear River, the town of Haywood once stood. Established in 1796, the town was named for John Haywood, who served as the state treasurer of North Carolina from 1787 to 1827. Haywood was proposed as the permanent home of the state capital, and in 1792, it was proposed as the home for the University of North Carolina. Daniels recounts the history of the town from its founding in 1796 to its demise in the20th-century.
