Negroes Seek Right to Practice Law in Alabama
Four Birmingham men and another from Birmingham file a petition with the state supreme court seeking the right to practice law in Alabama without taking the bar exam. They cite that only graduates of the University of Alabama law school may practice without exams and that blacks are barred from attending. They argue Alabama funds support out of state education, which functions as state delegated duties. The petition lists Banks Moss, Clarence E Moss, Hen il Moss, and Henry Henderson as graduates from Howard University and Lincoln University. The state bar association opposes the move.
