A visionary member of the Board of the School of Law’s Foundation from its inception, Olie worked tirelessly on behalf of the School of Law, including establishing the School of Law’s first endowed chair, the Joseph L. Rauh, Jr. Chair of Public Interest Law, named in honor of her husband. It is, in large measure, thanks to Olie that the School of Law's bar passage rate over the last five years exceeded 85%, easily meeting new American Bar Association bar passage standards. William L. Robinson, founding Dean of the District of Columbia School of Law and the University of the District of Columbia School of Law, has been named the Olie W. Rauh Professor of Law.
