Abstract:
Davis illustrates how North Carolina’s Supreme Court from the antebellum period to the Great Depression was heavily influenced by two factors.

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.
