Description
"Since 1872, the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina has served both the State of North Carolina and the nation. From among the ranks of its judges have come a chief judge of the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals, a judge for the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, a North Carolina candidate for governor, and many other jurists whose contributions to the nation were significant in incredibly diverse and often unexpected ways." -- book jacket flap.
