She was the first woman to be appointed to the Alaska Supreme Court and the Alaska Supreme Court's first female Chief Justice.
A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, she grew up in the city's Hyde Park neighborhood and attended The Seven Hills School. She attended Cornell University (BA 1973) and Northeastern University School of Law (JD 1976), before moving to Alaska in the 1970s.[1]
