Although the law library was histori- cally extolled as the "heart" or "laboratory" 2 of a law school, written histories of law schools are oftentimes quiet, if not silent, about the events and circumstances that contributed to the development of their libraries.3 Therefore, as I prepared to leave North Carolina Central University (NCCU) School of Law Library, after nearly two and a half decades as its director, I felt it necessary to record its history for 1.

It is the intent of this article to preserve the his- tory of a law library that was born in segregation, raised in discrimina- tion, and refused to die in the wake of integration and affirmative action. I will describe how judicial decisions and legislation as well as societal attitudes toward African Americans impacted the history of the law library. I will further discuss the professional standards for law libraries which mandated how the law librarians that preceded me managed the law library at NCCU School of Law. My story begins with the premise that law library directors at NCCU School of Law faced many challenges, mainly due to racism. This article chronicles the history of the law library by dividing the past into ten-year periods, each decennial representing a distinct era in its history. Within each era, I discuss how societal attitudes about African Americans made it difficult for the NCCU School of Law, and ultimately the law library, to exist. Focusing specifically on the law library's directors, collections, facilities, and services, I will describe how the NCCU School of Law provided a library that was at least "adequate" for training law students.' I will also explore the ways NCCU School of Law was able to provide a librarian, "qualified," to develop and maintain "effective library service,"s despite the fact that academia largely believed anyone could do the job. Finally I explain how the law library struggled to overcome insufficient funding for col- lection building, insufficient space to house the minimal books col- lected, and still managed to survive, despite insufficient staff to process and maintain the collection. THE BEGINNING: 1619 - 1929 Societal Attitudes and Legislation "It's always best to start at the beginning,"6 so that is where I will begin in order to forge an understanding and appreciation of the ob- stacles that NCCU School of Law and its law library have overcome. This story begins with a society that embraced institutionalized racism and the concept "that the white race is superior to and should have supremacy over all others."' Institutionalized racism for African 4. AI.FRS, supra note 2, at 48. 5. AHLERS, supra note 2, at 52. 6.

  • Civil Rights Activism in Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina, 1960-1963
    SUTTELL, BRIAN WILLIAM, Ph.D. Campus to Counter: Civil Rights Activism in Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina, 1960-1963. (2017) Directed by Dr. Charles C. Bolton. 296 pp. This work investigates civil rights activism in Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina, in the early 1960s, especially among students at Shaw University, Saint Augustine’s College (Saint Augustine’s University today), and North Carolina College at Durham (North Carolina Central University today). Their significance in challenging traditional practices in regard to race relations has been underrepresented in the historiography of the civil rights movement. Students from these three historically black schools played a crucial role in bringing about the end of segregation in public accommodations and the reduction of discriminatory hiring practices. While student activists often proceeded from campus to the lunch counters to participate in sit-in demonstrations, their actions also represented a counter to businesspersons and politicians who sought to preserve a segregationist view of Tar Heel hospitality. The research presented in this dissertation demonstrates the ways in which ideas of academic freedom gave additional ideological force to the civil rights movement and helped garner support from students and faculty from the “Research Triangle” schools comprised of North Carolina State College (North Carolina State University today), Duke University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Many students from both the “Protest Triangle” (my term for the activists at the three historically black schools) and “Research Triangle” schools viewed efforts by local and state politicians to thwart student participation in sit-ins and other forms of protest as a restriction of their academic freedom.

  • Appealability in North Carolina: Common Law Definition of the Statutory Substantial Right Doctrine
    APPEALABILITY IN NORTH CAROLINA: COMMON LAW DEFINITION OF THE STATUTORY SUBSTANTIAL RIGHT DOCTRINE WILLIS P. WHICHARD* I INTRODUCTION The editors of FederalCivil AppellateJurisdiction. An Interlocutory Restatement' posit that "the present law [on appealability] is unnecessarily and unacceptably com- plex, uncertain, and sometimes even inscrutable."'2 The Restatement attempts "to restructure [that law] in a way that might admit of greater simplicity and predict- ability in application, and thus to suggest an approach to [its] reformation." 3 The following effort to describe the current status of appealability under the law of North Carolina suggests a similar complexity and uncertainty in this juris- diction and the consequent desirability of similar efforts at reform. For reasons hereinafter set forth, however, skepticism as to the prospects for significant reform is warranted. An interlocutory order or judgment under North Carolina law is one which "does not determine the issues but directs some further proceeding preliminary to final decree. Such an order or judgment is subject to change by the court during the pendency of the action to meet the exigencies of the case."'4 As a general rule, there is no right of immediate appeal from interlocutory orders or judgments, and they may be reviewed only upon appeal from a final judgment. 5 The exceptional circumstances under which interlocutory orders are immediately appealable, as a Copyright © 1984 by Law and Contemporary Problems * Associate Judge, Court of Appeals of North Carolina.
