Biography
Raymond grew up in New York City, where she was friends with Elena Kagan, and graduated from Hunter College High School in 1976.[1] She studied at Carleton College, where she received a bachelor of arts cum laude in 1982. She attended Columbia Law School, serving as editor-in-chief of Columbia Law Review, and graduating first in her class with a Juris doctor in 1985. After law school, she clerked for Judge James L. Oakes of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and then for United States Supreme Court Associate Justice Thurgood Marshall in 1986-1987.[2] Following her clerkships, she practiced law first as an associate at Morrison & Foerster in New York City, where she worked on litigation, and then at a criminal defense firm in Portland, Oregon.
In 1995, she joined the law faculty as associate professor at the University of Iowa, in 1999 was promoted to professor, and in 2010 she was named the William G. Hammond Professor of Law. In 2007, she was considered for the post of dean at the University of Buffalo Law School.[3] In 2011, she became the Fred W. & Vi Miller dean and professor of law at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.[4][5] She followed Kenneth B. Davis, who was dean since 1997.[6] In 2019, her salary was $400,554.[7] In 2018, she argued law school education benefits society, in response to Samuel Moyn's article titled, "Law Schools Are Bad for Democracy."[8] In January 2019, Raymond was a finalist for the position of executive vice president and provost at the University of Iowa.[9][10] In April 2019, she announced the endowment of a chair at the University of Wisconsin Law School to honor the late Professor James E. Jones Jr., the school's first African American faculty member.[11]
In 2015, the second edition was published of Raymond's casebook, The Law and Ethics of Law Practice.
