Grace Doering McCord, a Phi Beta Kappa alumna of Western Reserve University, graduated from Cleveland Law School with the highest GPA ever achieved in the school’s history at the time and two years later earned an LL.M. from John Marshall School of Law. In 1933 she joined the faculty of her law alma mater, becoming the first female professor of law in Ohio. She worked as a City of Cleveland assistant law director and served as a regional attorney for the Price Administration during World War II. Eventually she joined her brothers Roy Doering (1918) and Milan Doering (1925) as a member of Doering, Doering and Doering. She was the first woman elected to the ABA’s House of Delegates and President of the National Association of Women Lawyers.
