Cornelia Groefsema Kennedy
Cornelia Kennedy (née Groefsema; August 4, 1923 – May 12, 2014) was a Judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
==Biography==
Cornelia Groefsema grew up in Detroit, Michigan. She graduated from the University of Michigan in 1945 and at the top of her class from the Law School in 1947. After law school, she clerked for the chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, Judge Harold Stephens, where she was the first woman to clerk on that court. In 1965 Kennedy ran for Wayne County Circuit Court judge and lost by fewer than 100 votes.〔 Kennedy and her sister, the Hon. Margaret G. Schaeffer, were the first sister judges in the United States. Schaeffer sat on the 47th District Court in Farmington Hills, Michigan from 1974–92.〔
The next year she ran again and won. In 1970 Kennedy was appointed by Richard Nixon to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. In 1977 Kennedy became the chief judge on that court, becoming the first woman to serve as chief judge of a U.S. district court. President Jimmy Carter elevated Kennedy to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in 1979.〔(Judge Cornelia G. Kennedy: First Lady of the Michigan Judiciary ), michbar.org; accessed May 14, 2014.〕 In 1981 President Ronald Reagan had narrowed his search for Justice Potter Stewart's replacement to Kennedy and Sandra Day O'Connor as the first woman on the United States Supreme Court, before eventually choosing O'Connor for the vacant seat. Kennedy was also on the shortlist for the seat vacated by the departure of William O. Douglas, which eventually went to John Paul Stevens.〔〔
