Abstract:
A look at the background, the politics and at other positions taken by Supreme Court Justice James Iredell to provide context to, and some explanation for, his dissenting opinion in the case Chisholm v. Georgia. Justice Iredell was a member of the first supreme court of the United States and was appointed by President George Washington in 1790. In Chisholm v. Georgia (1793), Iredell as the lone dissenter supported the position of law that would preclude suits by citizens of one state against another state, a result that was ultimately accomplished through the adoption of the Eleventh Amendment.

Abstract:
As NC state archaeologist and volunteers set out to begin an excavation of the Chowan County Courthouse, Hurricane Agnes struck Edenton and the rains that followed postponed the dig. The group moved to the site of another state-owned property that needed excavation. The cellar of the James Iredell House not only provided a relatively dry place to work, but also yielded plenty of kitchen and houseware artifacts.

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.
