Yes she did. Michelle Robinson (her maiden name) graduated with honor from Princeton University in 1985, and she then got a law degree from Harvard University Law School in 1988. After graduating from law school, she went to work at Sidley Austin, a prestigeous Chicago law firm; it was while she worked there that she met her future husband, Barack Obama, who was a legal intern at that time. (He graduated from Harvard Law School in 1991, and they married in 1992.) Michelle practiced law for about six years, until 1994, at which time she began to focus on helping her husband as he embarked on a political career.
