Cleckley, Franklin D., 1940-2017

Papers of Franklin Cleckley, lawyer, judge, and professor of law in West Virginia. Appointed to the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals in 1994 by then Governor Caperton Gaston, Cleckley was the first African-American Justice in West Virginia. Known for his prolific writing, he authored more than 100 majority opinions along with a number of concurring and dissenting opinions. Much of the collection consists of scrapbooks of newspaper clippings relating to the career of Cleckley. To a lesser extent the collection also includes correspondence and papers regarding legal cases Cleckley took part in, personal correspondence in the form of greeting and sympathy cards, as well as biographical material such as family photographs, resumes, and other material.
