Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
from 1988 to 1989. She had previously operated a private legal practice in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

After working in the District Attorney's office, where Stout was known for her successful prosecutions, she was appointed on an interim basis to the municipal court bench in 1959, becoming the first

woman to serve as a judge in the state. Elected that year to the municipal court, she was the first African-American woman elected to any judgeship in the
United States
. When she was appointed to the state's supreme court, Stout was the first African-American woman to serve on the Supreme Court of any state. (copied)
