Biographical Note
|
|
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 through 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, probably in preparation
for the Massachusetts Bar Exam. It is unclear, however, if she
ever took the Massachusetts Bar Exam because she is not listed
in the records of the Massachusetts Bar Association. Avery's obituary
refers to her as a retired attorney, but no records could be
found indicating that she practiced law in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. Sometime between 1927 and 1931 she married Lester
Avery. They had no children. Avery died in Milton in January
1980. |
