Abstract:

Names that brighten the pages of North Carolina history are to be found on the roll of law students who attended classes in a one-room, mud-daubed log cabin several miles up the headwaters of the north fork of Swannanoa River, northeast of Asheville. Such was the reputation of this school, conducted by Judge John Lancaster Bailey of Pasquotank County, that students were outstanding in their communities. Among those who gained places of public prominence from Judge Bailey's Law School were William Bailey, J. K. Connally, Washington Hardy, Thomas Johnson, and one woman student, Grace Hallyburton.
