The Robert H. Terrell Law School was an African-American law school in Washington, D.C., that offered evening classes from 1931 until 1950. It was founded by George A. Parker, Philip W. Thomas, Louis R. Mehlinger, Benjamin Gaskins, Chester Jarvis, and Lafayette M. Hershaw after Howard University ended its evening law school program. The school was named after Robert Heberton Terrell, a judge of the District of Columbia Municipal Court (predecessor to the Superior Court of the District of Columbia) who had died in 1925. Parker had previously served as dean of the recently closed John M. Langston School of Law at Frelinghuysen University, and Terrell Law School attracted other Langston faculty. During its 19 years of operation, the school educated the majority of black law students in the city. After graduating about 600 lawyers, it closed in 1950 as other law schools desegregated.
