Biography
Mary Jane Spurlin (January 16, 1883 – June 4, 1970) became Oregon's first woman judge when appointed by Governor Walter M. Pierce and sworn into office on April 1, 1926. She presided over the District Court of Multnomah County. On April 9, 1927, Spurlin was elected president of the Portland Federation of Women's Clubs.
Life
A graduate of Lewis & Clark Law School, Spurlin wrote in 1935 about the negative reactions the public had to uniformed police officers, adding that policewomen in street dress had an advantage over uniformed patrolmen in gaining the confidence of "parents of troublesome children."
She was a member of the Women Lawyers Association of Oregon.
