Jane Matilda Bolin LL.B.

She became the first black woman to serve as a judge in the United States when she was sworn into the bench of the New York City Domestic Relations Court in 1939.
==Early Life and Education==
Jane Matilda Bolin was born on April 11, 1908 in the suburb of Poughkeepsie, New York. She was the youngest of four children. Her father was Gaius C. Bolin, a lawyer and the first African American to attend (Williams College ) and her mother was a white, British Woman named Matilda Ingram Emery who died when Bolin was 8 years old. Jane Bolin adored her father and she always knew she wanted to be a lawyer as her father but, her childhood was completely destroyed when she saw all the horrible articles and pictures of the extrajudicial hanging of black southerners she saw in The Crisis, the leading black magazine of the day. Bolin attended a high school in Poughkeepsie, and was one of two black students in her class at Wellesley College in Massachusetts. Most of the white students ignored her, and she lived off campus with the other black students. A careers adviser at Wellesley College tried to discourage her from applying to Yale Law School due to her race and gender. She graduated in 1928 in the top 20 in her class, and joined Yale Law School where she was the only black student, and one of only three women.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://blackhistory.com/content/133098/07-22-1939-jane-bolin-becomes-the-first-black-biracial-woman-to-serve-as-u-s-judge )〕 She became the first African-American woman to receive a law degree from Yale in 1931 and passed the (New York state bar ) examination in 1932.
