Sheila Kuehl
In 1975, at age 34, after being denied admission into UCLA, Kuehl was accepted at Harvard Law School.[2] In her third year she was elected class marshal and president of the student council. She received her J.D. in 1978. During her final year, she chaired the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the first group of women to be admitted to the law school, and became the second woman to win Harvard's prestigious Ames Moot Court Competition, judged by a panel including Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.[3] Keuhl recalled that the Justice "strode over to me, clasped my hand in his two huge hands and said, 'Lady, I like your style.'"[3] Kuehl was recognized in the ABA's Law Student Division magazine as one of the nation's top five law students.[7]
