Abstract | Raymond Bowden Mallard was born in Faison, N.C., in 1908. He was an attorney, state legislator, North Carolina Superior Court judge, and first chief judge of the North Carolina State Court of Appeals. Mallard died in 1979 in Tabor City, N.C. The collection documents Raymond B. Mallard's judicial career and related civic activities. Materials include correspondence; briefs and other legal documents for a variety of cases, most of which probably duplicate the official records that are filed with the North Carolina Court System; writings; court notes; his diary from the Superior Court special terms of 1964; informal notes and annotations on envelopes and other materials; speeches; newspaper clippings; and photographs, including a few relating to the civil rights protests in Chapel Hill, N.C. The bulk of the materials documents Mallard's judicial career on the North Carolina Superior Court and the North Carolina Court of Appeals. Topics include the establishment and function of the Court of Appeals; the trials stemming from the civil rights demonstrations in Chapel Hill; the North Carolina Civil Rights Advisory Committee's reports on African American participation in instrumentalities of justice and voting history; judicial responsibility for protection of rights of the defendant in high profile cases; preparation and delivery of jury charges; inherent powers of the courts of North Carolina; the Henderson Cotton Mills trials; conflicts with the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI); inmate requests for parole and Mallard's opinions on criminal recidivism; his interest in student activism on campus; and the North Carolina Bar Association position on legal aid clinics. The collection also documents Mallard's early work as an attorney for the town of Tabor City, N.C., and board of trustee matters at Pembroke State College, including the conflict over administrative decisions and planning that purportedly diminished the roles and presence of Native Americans at the school. |

Raymond Bowden Mallard was born in Faison, N.C., on 20 February 1908 to J.R. Mallard and Eva Bowden Mallard. He was an attorney, state legislator, North Carolina Superior Court judge, and first chief judge of the North Carolina State Court of Appeals. His grandfather, S.A. Bowden, was a farmer and friends with a number of lawyers in the community and was influential in Mallard's interest in law.
Mallard earned a law degree from the Wake Forest College School of Law in 1931. From 1931 to 1955, he practiced law in a number of public offices. In 1939, Mallard was elected as a Democrat to the North Carolina State House of Representatives, where he served for a single session then chose not to run for reelection. During World War II, he enlisted at Fort Bragg, N.C., and served one year in the United States Army.
In July 1955, Mallard was appointed by North Carolina Governor Luther Hodges as judge of the Superior Court, where he served twelve years in various locations within the state. During this time, he presided over several historically significant trials in North Carolina, including the Henderson strike trials in 1959, involving eight union men accused of plotting to cripple the Harriet-Henderson Cotton Mills in Vance County, N.C. In 1964, he presided over a series of trespassing cases involving civil rights demonstrations in Chapel Hill, N.C.
In July 1967, Mallard was appointed to the North Carolina Court of Appeals and was immediately named the court's first chief judge. He served in that capacity until the announcement of his retirement on August 1973 and was then named Emergency Judge of the Court of Appeals, taking cases as his health permitted. During his long career as a jurist, Mallard was known for running his courtroom with an iron fist but a fair hand.
In 1935, Mallard married Lula McGougan Mallard. He and his wife had one daughter, Anne Elizabeth Sanders. Raymond B. Mallard died 20 July 1979 in Tabor City, N.C.
Back to TopThe Raymond B. Mallard Papers document his judicial career and related civic activities. Materials include correspondence; briefs and other legal documents, most of which probably duplicate the official records that are filed with the North Carolina Court System; writings; handwritten and typewritten court notes; his diary from the Superior Court special terms of 1964; informal notes and annotations on envelopes and other materials; speeches given to the judges' conference, bar and other legal associations, church groups, and various civic organizations; newspaper clippings; and photographs, including some relating to the civil rights protests in Chapel Hill, N.C. Materials collectively suggest that Mallard placed the rule of law above all else.
Correspondence files concern routine legal matters and include letters to and from judges, lawyers, and inmates, regarding appeals, petitions, advice, and recommendations. Subject files chiefly document Mallard's judicial career on the North Carolina Superior Court and the North Carolina Court of Appeals. Topics include the establishment and function of the Court of Appeals; illustrative Superior Court cases; Superior Court special term trials stemming from the civil rights demonstrations in Chapel Hill; the North Carolina Civil Rights Advisory Committee's report on African American participation in instrumentalities of justice; judicial responsibility for protection of rights of the defendant in high profile cases; preparation and delivery of jury charges; and inherent powers of the courts of North Carolina. Subject files also document Mallard's early work as an attorney for the town of Tabor City, N.C., reconciling city statutes and contracts with state laws; board of trustee matters at Pembroke State College, including the conflict between President Walter J. Gale and Trustee Elmer Lowery over administrative decisions and planning that purportedly diminished the roles and presence of Native Americans at the school; and his interest in student activism on campus.
Envelope files consist of notes, correspondence, newspaper clippings, speeches, reports, pamphlets, and other materials that Mallard filed in envelopes annotated with a numbered classification system that he created, as well as his brief descriptions of the contents. Mallard's personal feelings on a given topic, such as civil disobedience or race relations, to some extent can be gleaned from these descriptions and from his notes and annotations on other materials enclosed in the envelopes. The materials chiefly relate to matters of the North Carolina Court of Appeals; the North Carolina Superior Court; the North Carolina Office of the Board of Paroles; the North Carolina State Bar Association; and Pembroke State College. Topics include the establishment and function of the North Carolina Court of Appeals; the Harriet & Henderson Cotton Mills trials; the Chapel Hill, N.C., civil rights demonstrations trials; conflicts with the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI); the Frank Joseph Rinaldi murder trial; a special investigation of Floyd B. McKissick by the SBI; judicial appointees, including Mallard, to the North Carolina courts; Mallard's sensitivity to criticism by the press; inmate requests for parole and Mallard's opinions on criminal recidivism; the North Carolina Bar Association's position on legal aid clinics; the North Carolina Civil Rights Advisory Committee's reports on African American voting history; and Mallard's retirement. There is also a considerable amount of routine correspondence, chiefly collegial exchanges with judges, attorneys, and government officials.

The envelope files consist of notes, correspondence, newspaper clippings, speeches, reports, pamphlets, and other materials that Mallard filed in envelopes annotated with a numbered classification system that he created, as well as his brief descriptions of the contents. Mallard's personal feelings on a given topic, such as civil disobedience or race relations, to some extent can be gleaned from these descriptions and from his notes and annotations on other materials enclosed in the envelopes. The materials chiefly relate to matters of the North Carolina Court of Appeals, the North Carolina Superior Court, the North Carolina Office of the Board of Paroles, the North Carolina State Bar Association, and Pembroke State College. Topics include the establishment and function of the North Carolina Court of Appeals; Boyd Payton, labor unions, and the Harriet & Henderson Cotton Mills trials; the trials stemming from the civil rights demonstrations in Chapel Hill, N.C.; conflicts with Walter Anderson and the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI); the Frank Joseph Rinaldi murder trial; a special investigation by the SBI of Floyd B. McKissick and his possible associations with Black Muslims and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; judicial appointees to the North Carolina courts; Mallard's sensitivity to criticism by the press, especially in Raleigh News and Observer editorials; inmate requests for parole and Mallard's opinions on criminal recidivism; legal aid clinics, such as the kind proposed by the Office of Economic Opportunity; and his retirement. There is also a considerable amount of routine correspondence, chiefly requests to copy his "notebook," a 1200-page judicial reference book with topically arranged case references; thank-you letters from community members after holding court in their locale; and other collegial exchanges with judges, attorneys, and government officials.
