White Journal, Page 44, Abraham Caruthers

I + a few others of the Senior Law met with our professor Judge Ab. Caruthers

Abraham Caruthers was a professor and judge at Cumberland University where Woods attended law school. Alongside his brother, Robert L. Caruthers, who was a judge, politician, and unofficial governor of Confederate Tennessee, he was an innovator in law instruction and a co-founder of the Cumberland School of Law, one of the first law schools in the South at the time.
