Nelda Jaeger campaigned for Justice of the Peace in Tacoma, Washington in 1914. Jaeger was a member of the first graduating class at Stadium High School in Tacoma. She then went on to become one of the first three female graduates of the University of Washington School of Law. By many accounts, Jaeger proved to be an accomplished criminal attorney and active member in the Pierce County legal community. In 1914, she served as "Judge for a Day" for Police Judge F.A. Magill; in 1912 and 1915, Jaeger was appointed to that position formally. She was also president of the Tacoma Business Women's Club.
