[2] Teeter studied chemical engineering at the University of Kansas, graduating in 2002 with a Bachelor of Science with highest distinction.

She graduated in 2006 class Valedictorian with a Juris Doctor degree and Order of the Coif honors.

The ABA gave Teeter the rating because it believes that one must have 12 years of legal experience to be qualified for the federal bench.

[10] Judicial website The Vetting Room wrote that the ABA's rating was unlikely to impact Teeter's chance at being confirmed, as she has "stellar academic credentials" and has clerked only for judges nominated by Democratic presidents.

[11] On January 3, 2018, her nomination was returned to the President under Rule XXXI, Paragraph 6 of the United States Senate.
