John Rock, born a freeman on October 13, 1825, was the first African-American lawyer admitted to the Supreme Court bar. He took his oath before Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase on February 1, 1865, but never had an opportunity to argue before the Court because he died of consumption (tuberculosis) on December 3, 1866.
The first African-American to practice before the Supreme Court is believed to be James Alexander Chiles, who argued his own case, Chiles v. Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Co., 218 US 71 (1910).
