Born in 1879, in Greensboro, Georgia, little is known about Marion Scudder Griffin’s early life. In fact, an 1880 Greensboro census lists Marion S. Griffin as six years’ old, which places her birth year in 1874, five years earlier. Griffin worked for some time as a stenographer in Greensboro, where she became interested in law. Upon moving to Memphis, she worked in Judge Thomas M. Scruggs’ office as a stenographer. She also began studying for the acquisition of her own legal license. On February 15, 1900, she was certified by Chancellor Dehaven and Circuit Court Judge Estes for admission to the bar. Despite this, the Tennessee Supreme Court denied Griffin a legal license on the basis of her sex twice, in 1900 and 1901. Determined, Griffin began to study at the University of Michigan’s Law School, earning a Bachelor of Laws degree by 1906. She was one of two women in her graduating class. Returning to Tennessee, she spurred the state legislature to pass a law that would give women the right to practice law. Though she was initially “greeted with wisecracks and gaffaws,” she convinced the assembly and a bill was passed on February 13, 1907, and ratified by Governor Patterson two days later.1 On July 1st of that same year, Griffin was licensed by the Tennessee Supreme Court and sworn in as a member of the local bar.
