| Biographical Abstract: |
Emma Jean Lang Avery was born in Boston in 1893 or 1894. She attended
Boston University from 1916 to 1923, graduating from the College of
Business Administration with honors. Avery then attended Northeastern
University's Evening School of Law from September 1923 to June 1927,
and received her LLB in 1927. In 1931, she returned to NU to take
the Comprehensive Review course offered to law students in their fourth
year, most likely in preparation for the Massachusetts Bar Exam. It
is unclear whether she practiced law afterwards. Between 1927 and
1931 she married Lester Avery. Avery died in Milton, Massachusetts
in January 1980. |
