<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Julius L. Chambers (1936-2013), graduated from the University of North Carolina School of Law in 1962, first in his class of 100. He served as Editor-in-Chief of the Law Review and was elected to the Order of the Coif and Order of the Golden Fleece, the highest honorary societies at the University. He taught at Columbia University School of Law while earning his masters of law degree in 1964. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">In June 1964, Mr. Chambers opened his law practice in a cold water walkup on East Trade Street in Charlotte. This one person law practice eventually became the first integrated law firm in North Carolina history. In its first decade, the law firm did more to influence evolving federal civil rights law than any other private law practice in the United States. Mr. Chambers and his founding partners, James E. Ferguson, II, and Adam Stein, working with lawyers of the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund, Inc., successfully litigated civil rights cases and helped shape the contours of civil rights law by winning landmark United States Supreme Court rulings in such cases as <i>Swann v. Charlotte Mecklenburg Board of Education</i>, 402 U.S. 1 (1971), (the famous school busing decision) and <i>Griggs v. Duke Power Co</i>., 401 U.S. 424, 91 S.Ct. 849, 28 L.Ed.2d 158 (1971) and <i>Albemarle Paper Co. v. Moody</i>, 422 U.S. 405 (1975) (two of the Supreme Court's most significant Title VII employment discrimination decisions). </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Mr. Chambers retired from his position as Chancellor of North Carolina Central University on June 30, 2001 and reentered private law practice with the Firm where his work includes business matters, employment discrimination, education and civil rights. The preceding biography provided courtesy of </span>the law office of Ferguson, Chambers & Sumter, P.A.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each year, the GBA collects generous donations from our members to purchase books from Scholastic at a significant discount. We collect enough money to buy a book for each and every child in the traditional program at Jones Elementary School in grades K through 5. Right before the holiday break, GBA volunteers wrap each book and then hand deliver the books to the kids in their classrooms wearing Santa hats and other festive attire. The look on the children's faces is what the holidays are all about. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So . . . we are asking you to consider:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(1) making a donation to this project by writing a check made payable to the "Greensboro Bar Association Foundation"; </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(2) wrapping a book while attending the GBA's annual holiday party on December 19th at Elon Law School; and</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(3) volunteering to distribute the books at Jones on Friday, December 20th. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Donations need to be received by December 10, 2013 and can be mailed to the GBA at Post Office Box 1825, Greensboro, NC 27402 or hand-delivered to either Chris Gumbiner or Sarah Roane at the November 21st membership dinner meeting. Please include "Jones Elementary Book Project" in the memo line of the check so we know what your donation is for. All donors, both individual and firm, will be recognized in a subsequent GBA newsletter. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thank you in advance for your generosity and holiday spirit!</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38892638.post-18344411001766722902013-11-05T06:22:00.002-05:002013-11-05T06:22:25.720-05:00Upcoming CLE for Attorneys<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Upcoming CLE for attorneys hosted by NC Institute for Constitutional Law</span><br />
