Rhyne, NIMLO's (now IMLA) longtime Executive Director and General Counsel helped create. Charles first discussed the need for Law Day with ABA, NIMLO and State and Local Bar leaders as he developed his idea of a formal proclamation. He then met with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, and U.S. Attorney General William P. Rogers so they could read, edit and approve the proclamation of Law Day before handing it over to President Eisenhower to sign. The proclamation almost didn't come into existence by Presidential Proclamation because first ranking Presidential Assistant Sherman Adams told Mr. Rhyne that the President would not be signing the proposed proclamation. Instead of accepting defeat, Mr. Rhyne invited himself into the President's office to convince him to sign it. Despite Mr. Adams' strong disapproval, Rhyne presented the proposal for Law Day to President Eisenhower. The President immediately liked the idea because "it praises our Constitutional law system of government, our great law heritage under the Rule of Law and asks our people to stand up and praise what they have created" contrary to Mr. Adams' belief that its purpose was to praise lawyers. On February 3, 1958, President Eisenhower signed the proclamation and said to Mr. Rhyne, "Charlie, please collect the editorials and media stories which praise this Proclamation and bring them to me... I have a strong feeling there will be many who will say this Proclamation is one of the best ideas I ever had."
