Weiss received her Bachelors degree in Political Science from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1981 and her J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1986. She practiced corporate and securities law in Boston from 1986 to 1990, at Brown, Rudnick, Freed and Gesmer, a "100-person firm" where she found the job "exciting and lucrative" though it failed to satisfy her "desire to give back to the community" [http://www.ncjournalforwomen.com/months/2004_months/may04/may04bennettwilkes.htm May 2004 article about Weiss] from the North Carolina Journal for Women website] ;.
