Mrs Barry, who eschewed The Family 's Real Estate business, served As One of only two female prosecutors in the US Attorney's Office in New Jersey from 1974 to 1983.
With The Help of her brother's infamous lawyer and fixer Roy Cohn , Mrs Barry was nominated by President Ronald Reagan as a Federal District judge in 1983.
In " Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created The World 's Most Dangerous Man" a 2020 memoir Written By her niece Mary, Mrs Barry said it was " the only favour I ever asked for in my whole life".

In 1999, Mrs Barry was appointed by President Bill Clinton to the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, which encompasses portions of New Jersey , Delaware and Pennsylvania.
