Draper presented himself as a candidate to practice law in 1857 and a judge found him “qualified in all respects” — except for his skin color and so he was denied. “Maryland was not at the forefront of welcoming Black applicants to the legal profession,” said former appellate Justice John G.

Watts said it was the state's first posthumous admission to the bar.
