On December 13, 1928, a group of young Macon lawyers, including A.H.S. Weaver, Cubbedge Snow, Sr., J.D. Carlisle, and John McCreary, met to form the Macon Lawyers Club. The purpose of the organization was described as, "to meet monthly, present papers and hear speakers on legal topics."
The Macon Lawyers Club continued active for at least ten years, often inviting the Macon Bar Association to meet with them to hear speakers of state-wide distinction. In 1935, R. Lanier Anderson, Jr. was president of the club, which then had twenty two members and met at Christ Church parish house.
The reason for the formation of this group is not clear. Perhaps it represented the Senior and Junior Bar division observed before the World War. Most likely, it is explained by the inactivity of the official bar association. The bar memorial to Judge Felton Hatcher credits him with reviving the Macon Bar Association in 1934. It described the condition of the association prior to that time as "moribund."
