"Edwin Archer Randolph was admitted to the Superior Court in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1880, the year he graduated from Yale University's law school. He was Yale's first black law graduate and the first black person admitted to practice in Connecticut. Randolph, however, never practiced in Connecticut, returning instead to practice in his native state of Virginia."--Cf. Emancipation : the making of the black lawyer, 1844-1944, by J.
