The Forensic Club was a short lived private organization chartered in 1826 to offer lectures in the law in Charleston, South Carolina . On November 18, 1825, a group of Charleston s elite drafted a petition which was delivered to the statehouse and which requested a charter for a new organization to be known as the Forensic Club. Those petitioning the House of Representatives included at least the following named members Richard Yeardon, Jr. Charles S. Strohecker George Buist Henry Cochran and Stephen Elliott . They claimed in their petition that they had established a Lecture ship on the Law, which has been accepted by a gentleman of known talents and legal eminence and that they contemplate also the future creation of a regular Law Institute in the City of Charleston and the annexation of a Law Library to their Institution for which purpose they are accumulating a fund.
