She subsequently served as Assistant Dean of the Yale Graduate School and later oversaw the transition of Yale College to coeducation. In 1976 Wasserman earned a J.D. from the Yale Law School. After clerking on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, she practiced law and divorce mediation for almost 20 years.
