Rhode became only the second woman to receive tenure at Stanford Law School, where she taught since 1979. As a law student at Yale in the mid-1970s, Deborah L. Rhode worked at a legal aid clinic, helping clients who were unable to afford lawyers for their divorce cases. Local lawyers were charging too much, she recalled $1,000 just to fill out paperwork so she and her colleagues created a “how to” kit for clients interested in representing themselves. Instead of being praised for their initiative, Dr. Rhode and the clinic faced legal threats from the bar association, which threatened to sue for the unauthorized practice of law.

To wrap Rhode’s countless board positions, awards, publications, and accomplishments otherwise is an impossible task. Over the course of her legal career, Rhode authored 30 books on gender, ethics and public policy and became the most cited scholar in legal ethics.  “I don’t know of another legal academic career that remotely matches it,” Ralph Cavanagh, Rhode’s husband, told The Daily. Rhode is survived by Cavanagh, whom she met as an undergraduate, as well as her sister Christine Rhode, eight beloved nieces and nephews and an uncountable number of mentees and students.

Remembering Deborah Rhode: Co-Author, Friend, and Feminist Co-Conspirator

The legal academy lost one of its finest scholars and teachers when Professor Deborah Rhode of Stanford Law School died on January 8, 2020, at the age of 68. She was only the second woman to join the faculty there, a position she held for 41 years. Professor Rhode was one of the nation’s leaders in the law of sex discrimination, as well as in legal ethics and the legal profession. It would be hard to think of a gender law scholar whose work was both so widely cited and so broad in scope. Among the many subjects she tackled were bias in the legal profession, the history of the legal profession, glass ceiling issues, structural and unconscious bias, sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination, women in leadership, bias in courtrooms, gender discrimination in education, and appearance discrimination. And in recent years, she had grappled with broader questions about people and society in which we live, writing books about leadership, adultery, character, cheating, and ambition.
