She was born Irma Steinberg in Brooklyn, New York, and attended local schools including Midwood High School. She graduated from Syracuse University in 1959 and studied at the Hague Academy of International Law.
Steinberg interrupted her education to marry Samuel K. Raker and oversee the early development of their three children. She then returned to her studies, earning a Juris Doctor degree from the American University in Washington, D.C. in 1972. She was admitted to the Maryland bar the next year.
Legal Career
Raker served as an Assistant State's Attorney for Montgomery County, Maryland from 1973 to 1979. Judge Raker took the bench when she was appointed a trial judge in Maryland's District 6 court in 1980. She served in a number of increasingly responsible judicial positions until Governor Schaefer appointed her to the Maryland Court of Appeals, the state's highest court.
