She graduated in Law from the Queens University of Belfast in 1973 and was called to the Northern Ireland Bar in 1974. In 1975, she was appointed Reid Professor of Criminal Law, Criminology and Penology at Trinity College Dublin and in 1987, she returned to her Alma Mater, Queens, to become Director of the Institute of Professional Legal Studies. In 1994, she became the first female Pro-Vice Chancellor of the Queens University of Belfast.
She worked as a current affairs journalist and presenter in radio and television with Radio Telefís Éireann (RTÉ) and was a Director of Channel 4 Television. During her time in RTE she came under concerted attack from some fellow broadcasters who regarded any northern nationalist as being a "crypto-Provo".
She has a longstanding interest in many issues concerned with justice, equality, social inclusion, anti-sectarianism and reconciliation. She was a member of the Catholic Church Episcopal Delegation to the New Ireland Forum in 1984, and she was a founder member of the Irish Commission for Prisoners Overseas.
On 11 November 1997 she became the first President to come from Northern Ireland, but only after a vitriolic campaign which, again, sought to characterise her as a "crypto-Provo". As President she has enjoyed a remarkably high approval rating in opinion polls, and it is clear that if she decides to run for a second seven-year term she will be re-elected with a very large majority. She is married, since 1976, to Dr Martin McAleese, an accountant and dentist. They have three children, Emma, born 1982 and twins Justin and SaraMai, born 1985.

From the Inside Flap
Ray Mac Mánais traces the life of Mary McAleese from her girlhood in Ardoyne to the threshold of the presidency. Her story is a chronicle of triumphs and tragedies, of self-belief and tenacity. It is both an adventure story and a love story; it is also a tale of grit and determination on the part of the man who would become her husband. In writing this book the author has had the cooperation of the president and members of her family, and has had access to many of her personal papers.
She graduated in Law from the Queen s University of Belfast and in 1975 became the youngest ever Reid Professor of Law at Trinity College Dublin. She was the first Catholic Director of the Institute of Professional Legal Studies, and she became the first female Pro-Vice Chancellor of the Queen s University of Belfast.
She worked as a current affairs journalist and presenter in radio and television with Radio Telefís Éireann (RTÉ) during the controversial days of the 1980 and 1981 hunger strikes, and was a Director of Channel 4 Television. On 11 November 1997 she became the first President to come from Northern Ireland.
