[3] After working as a teacher, English professor and assistant dean of student affairs at Penn State's Greater Allegheny Campus, she subsequently earned her juris doctor degree from Duquesne University School of Law.
After retiring from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, but before becoming Penn State's General Counsel, she became a partner in the international law firm of Duane Morris, LLP.
News reports in July 2012 indicated that Baldwin, in her capacity as General Counsel, recommended that then-Penn State president Graham Spanier reject calls for an independent body overseeing the school's athletic programs.
Feudale further wrote that "Spanier, Curley and Schultz are "highly educated" men who had positions of considerable influence at PSU as well as inferentially, knowledge about important events that impact the reputation of the university; and it therefore strains credulity to infer that they were somehow deluded or misrepresented by attorney Baldwin."
[10] Curley, Penn State's former athletic director, and Gary Schultz, retired vice president for finance and business have been arrested and charged by the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General for allegedly perjuring themselves before the grand jury about what they knew about the Sandusky affair.
Curley, along with Schultz, Graham Spanier and Coach Joe Paterno had also been cited by the Freeh Report as engaging in a cover up of Sandusky's abuse activities.
In February 2020, the Supreme Court issued an Opinion imposing discipline in the form of a public reprimand, which was administered by the Disciplinary Board on July 22, 2020.
[13] Craig McCoy of "The Philadelphia Inquirer" published an investigative article on July 23, 2020, that revealed the release of the affidavit sworn by Barry Feudale, the Grand Jury Judge in the Sandusky case.
According to the affidavit, Judge Feudale had been approached by Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Tom Saylor seven years earlier, in July 2012, for a "private conversation".
According to the affidavit, Justice Saylor specifically stated that he expected Judge Feudale to assist in every way with providing information in support of the disciplinary investigation.
