Mrs. Lockwood and the Late Associate Justice Knott [sic], of the Court of Claims, now Retired
Title:
Mrs. Lockwood and the Late Associate Justice Knott [sic], now Retired
Description:
Lockwood's handwritten notes, likely for her biography. She discusses her interactions with Judge Charles C. Nott, beginning with her attempt to be admitted to the U.S. Court of Claims bar when working on the Charlotte Van Cort case. Nott wrote and delivered the lengthy opinion rejecting Lockwood from admission to the bar on the grounds that she was a woman. Nevertheless, Lockwood persisted and was eventually admitted to the U.S. Court of Claims bar and argued cases before Nott, who became Chief Justice of the U.S. Court of Claims. She discusses at length the Eastern Cherokee case and writes that Judge Nott congratulated her on her efforts in that case. When Judge Nott retired, Lockwood and many other lawyers met with him, and he asked Lockwood for forgiveness for having turned her down so many years prior and Lockwood "with her characteristic generosity" told him that she never held anything against him.
