handle is hein.barjournals/ncsbarq0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE North Carolina Bar Published Under the Direction and Supervision of The Council of the North Carolina State Bar flinen VOLUME 1 February, 1954 NUMBER 1 Greetings From Our President, Zeb Vance Norman We introduce to you this little period- ical, The North Carolina Bar, to be published quarterly following the meet- ings of the Bar Council. It is designed to keep you informed concerning the achievements of the integrated bar so that our members may be familiar with its usefulness and benefits to the North Carolina lawyers. Many of our members do not have a proper evaluation of just what fruits have grown out of the or- ganization and perpetuation of our State Bar as a legal entity. They have been far more than most of our lawyers real- ize, and the potentialities and possibil. ities are beyond present contemplation. We believe that the dissemination from time to time of what the Bar Council is doing will be mutually beneficial. Let us strive to maintain proficiency, integ- rity, usefulness and leadership. The North Carolina Bar will be is- sued in the months of February, May, August, and November. Inquiries re- garding announcements and space should be directed to the North Carolina State Bar, Justice Building, Raleigh, N. C.
