Estrich was born in Lynn, Massachusetts,[1] and grew up in Marblehead on the Massachusetts North Shore, where she attended the Eveleth School.[2]
Estrich graduated from Wellesley College in 1974, and received her J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1977.[3] In 1976, Estrich was elected the first female president/editor-in-chief of the Harvard Law Review.[4]
Estrich served as a law clerk for Judge J. Skelly Wright of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia and Justice John Paul Stevens of the U.S. Supreme Court.
In 1988, she was the campaign manager for Michael Dukakis’ 1988 presidential run, even though she had never before managed a political campaign. She was the first female campaign manager of a major presidential campaign, and the first female campaign manager of the modern era.

Her Harvard law degree apparently did not prepare her to write a logically coherent argument to support her position.
