First Woman to Argue Before the Supreme Court


In November 1880, Belva Lockwood became the first woman to argue before the Supreme Court when she argued Kaiser  v. Stickney. The case concerned a $16,000 debt owed by Lockwood’s client, Caroline Kaiser. Ironically, given Lockwood’s beliefs and experience, she and her co-counsel invoked the legal doctrine of coverture — under which a married woman was deemed to be under her husband’s legal protection and authority — to contend that Kaiser did not have to pay the money owed. Lockwood argued in Court on Kaiser’s behalf for 20 minutes. Although Kaiser lost her case, Lockwood made history.

Belva Lockwood is one of several trailblazers featured in the exhibit, In Re Lady Lawyers: The Rise of Women Attorneys and the Supreme Court, located on the ground floor of the Supreme Court Building and currently available online.
