Since February 15th is coming up, a friendly reminder that mouthy women get stuff done even way back in the day: constitutioncenter.org/blog/on-this... #belva #lockwood #women #lawyers ⚖️♀️
On this day, women first allowed to argue Supreme Court cases
On February 15, 1879, President Rutherford B. Hayes signed a new law that would admit women as members of the Supreme Court bar and allow them to submit and argue cases at the high court.
