Jennifer, unusual for a woman of her time, had graduated from a private boarding school in 1886 and gone on to college, and successfully entered law school as one of the first women admitted to the New York University School of Law in 1890. Her own law degree was put aside in 1891 when she married Walter Tyler, another lawyer, who ultimately sat as a Federal Judge for nearly twenty-five years until he died in 1926 in a tragic boating accident. Her own ability to conduct herself on the bench would have been in question, for as intelligent and outspoken as she was, her own mental state was always a little precarious, and she was given to the occasional bout of screaming histrionics. Given that she was deeply in love with both her husband and son, and doted on both, it could be considered that any slips into instability could be forgiven at this time. | Jennifer, unusual for a woman of her time, had graduated from a private boarding school in 1886 and gone on to college, and successfully entered law school as one of the first women admitted to the New York University School of Law in 1890.
