THE COVER<\/p>\n

Miss Jane M. Bolin<\/a> became on July 22 the first colored woman Judge in the United States when Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia<\/a> appointed her and swore her in as a justice\u00a0of the Court of Domestic Relations<\/a> of the City of New York<\/a>. The appointment is for\u00a0ten years and the salary is $12,000 a year.<\/p>\n

Miss Bolin, who in private life is the wife of Ralph E. Mizelle, Washington, D.C.<\/a>,\u00a0attorney, is a graduate of Wellesley College and Yale law school. She was born\u00a0in Poughkeepsie, N.Y.<\/a>, the daughter of Gaius C. Bolin, an attorney who for many years\u00a0was president of the Poughkeepsie branch of the N.A.A.C.P.<\/a> Following her graduation\u00a0from Yale law school, Miss Bolin was admitted to practice in New York in 1932. In 1937\u00a0she was named an assistant corporate counsel and assigned to the Court of Domestic\u00a0Relations. The retirement of another justice who had reached the age limit created\u00a0an opening which Mayor LaGuardia filled by appointing Miss Bolin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
