She set up a practice in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1954. After working in the District Attorney's office, where Stout was known for her successful prosecutions, she was appointed on an interim basis to the municipal court bench in 1959, becoming the first African-American woman to serve as a judge in the state.
Elected that year to the municipal court, she was the first African-American woman elected to any judgeship in the United States.
When she was appointed to the state's supreme court, Stout was the first African-American woman to serve on the Supreme Court of any state.
