She studied at Wellesley College, where she received an A.B. in Economics in 1969, and at Northeastern University School of Law, graduating with a J.D. in 1974.[4] After law school, she clerked first for Judge James L. Oakes of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and then Warren E. Burger, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court from 1975 to 1976.[5] She was the first woman to clerk for the Chief Justice. Following her clerkships, she practiced law in Washington, D.C. as an associate of both Cole and Groner and Wilmer, Cutler, and Pickering.
