Kathleen Sullivan Biography

Kathleen Sullivan is one of the most popular and richest Lawyer who was born on August 20, 1955 in Sault Ste. Marie, United States. Kathleen Marie Sullivan (born August 20, 1955) is an American lawyer and name partner at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, a global, litigation-only white shoe law firm headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Based in the firm’s New York City office, Sullivan chairs its national appellate practice group. She is the first and only female name partner at an Am Law 100 law firm. Previously, Sullivan served as Dean of Stanford Law School, where she was the Stanley Morrison Professor of Law.

Although several major law schools offered her positions, Sullivan accepted an assistant professorship at Harvard in 1984, and was promoted to professor of law in 1989. Following a visiting teaching position at Stanford Law School in spring 1992, Sullivan accepted an offer to join that faculty in 1993 and was promoted to the Stanley Morrison Professor of Law in 1996. Sullivan served as Dean of Stanford Law School from 1999 to 2004, becoming the first woman to head any of Stanford’s seven schools and the first woman Dean at one of the nation’s top three law schools. After voluntarily stepping down as Dean in 2004 to serve part-time as the inaugural director of the Stanford Constitutional Law Center, Sullivan remained on Stanford Law’s faculty until

2012. Stanford recruited New York University Law School assistant dean and legal scholar Larry Kramer to succeed her as Dean, as well as serve as Richard E. Lang Professor at the Law School.

While Stanford’s Dean, Sullivan maintained a pro bono constitutional law practice. In 2005, she joined Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver & Hedges (now Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan), where she helped to found and build the firm’s nascent appellate practice. Now chair of the firm’s national appellate practice, Sullivan has argued and briefed numerous appeals before the U.S. Courts of Appeals, the California Supreme Court, the New York Court of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court, where she has argued nine times. Cases she won before the U.S. Supreme Court include: Bruesewitz v. Wyeth, Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum Co., and Granholm v. Heald (which struck down state prohibition of interstate wine shipping). She also represented Shell Oil in an appeal to limit the company’s liability for toxic waste. Sullivan has also filed pro bono briefs in a wide range of civil rights cases, and served as co- counsel for Michael Hardwick in the 1986 landmark gay rights case Bowers v. Hardwick.

In both 2006 and 2013, The National Law Journal recognized Sullivan as one of America’s 100 most influential lawyers.

Sullivan, a member of the New York bar since 1982 and the Massachusetts bar since 1988, failed the July 2005 California bar exam, leading many to question either the usefulness of the exam or her preparation for it. She retook the exam in February 2006 and passed.

After graduating from Harvard Law School in 1981, Sullivan served one year as a judicial law clerk to Judge James L. Oakes on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
