In contemporary times, African American lawyers in North Carolina have organized to advance the cause of justice for Black People. Today’s North Carolina Association of Black Lawyers traces its roots to the North Carolina Lawyers Association organized in Durham in 1954. The Constitution of that organization was adopted on June 12, 1954.
JUSTICE
My name is Kimberly A. Moore, and I am delighted to announce my role as the newly appointed President of the North Carolina Association of Black Lawyers. It is a privilege to embark on this journey alongside each of you.
To share a bit about my background, since 2020, I have held the position of Assistant Federal Public Defender within North Carolina’s Eastern District. Prior to this, between 2017 and 2020, I was part of the Jeffers Law Firm in Raleigh, representing individuals facing both federal and state criminal charges, as well as Bivens and Federal Tort Claims Act cases. My career also includes a significant tenure from 1999 to 2017 as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina.
