New York, 1851. $5.00 Issued membership to the American Legal Association, S/N 467. Black text with ornate black border, New York Coat of Arms depicted at top center, other ornate vignettes at left and right margins. VF condition with some staining near center. New York lawyer, publisher, and entrepreneur, John Livingston, founded the North American Legal Association [also known as the American Legal Association] in the early 1850s. It was a loose organization of lawyers from throughout the United States created to provide those doing interstate business a list of reliable legal counsel. Livingston distributed circulars advertising the group to postmasters and county clerks and solicited them to recommend potential Association members. The Association was one of the first national proto-bar associations in the U.S. Very ornate and attractive certificate. DB&C, Printer
