Biography

Born in Providence, Rhode Island, Aldrich received a Bachelor of Arts from Columbia University in 1948 and an Bachelor of Laws from the New York University School of Law in 1950. She also attended the Graduate Institute of International Studies in 1951. She was an Attorney on the General Counsel's Staff for the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, in Washington, D.C., from 1951 to 1952. She served as a research assistant for Professor Edmond N. Cahn of the New York University Law School from 1952 to 1953, and for Arthur T. Vanderbilt of the New Jersey Supreme Court from 1952 to 1953.

After a brief stint in private practice in Washington, D.C. she served as a civilian attorney at Subic Bay Naval Station from 1954 to 1956, and as an attorney for the Federal Communications Commission from 1953 to 1960.

Federal Communications Commission,[1][2] which established a private party's standing, before the Federal Communications Commission, to intervene in license renewal proceedings.

Aldrich returned to New York University to earn a Master of Laws in 1964 and a Doctor of Juridical Science (a research degree in law equivalent to a Doctor of Philosophy) in 1967. She was a Professor of Law at Cleveland State University from 1968 to 1980.
