I don’t have any source links or anything for this particular issue. However, I did end up, reaching out to the black lawyers association in South Carolina about this so I will update if and when they get back to me with Their statement…

I actually spent a little bit of time looking this up. All of ten minutes.

The bar became mandatory in SC in (if I am interpreting this correctly) 1968 - https://web.archive.org/web/20090828061736/http://www.scbar.org/about_us/

One of the first black lawyers was eventually a judge in SC, 1873 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macon_Bolling_Allen

I mean.

Thanks for the sources 👍

Think it’s fair to say there might have been a little something between 1873 and 1968 that’d warrant resetting that first.
