Pioneering Judge Carolyn Stell Opened Doors for Women in Mid-Michigan Law
On the final day of Women's History Month, we remember Carolyn Stell, who lived in East Lansing for more than 50 years and served as Ingham County's first female circuit court judge.
Eaton County Circuit Court Judge Janice Cunningham keeps two photos in her office that feature Carolyn Stell, the first female Ingham County circuit court judge. This newspaper clipping in Cunningham's office shows officers for the 1989-1990 Women Lawyers Association of Michigan Mid-Michigan Region, which Stell (second from right) served as president of.
