Clark received her B.S. in biology from Vanderbilt University in 1985 and her J.D. from Emory University School of Law in 1988.

Clark has appeared on “The Layman’s Lawyer” on Atlanta public television on the issue of products liability and has appeared on “Leyes Cotidianas” (“Everyday Law”) on Georgia Public Television on the issue of harmful reform of Georgia’s civil justice system in 2005.
