Before assuming office, Justice Larsen served on the faculty of the University of Michigan Law School where she was also special counsel to the Dean. An award-winning legal scholar, Justice Larsen taught for more than a decade at the University of Michigan where she received the L. Hart Wright Award for Excellence in Teaching.

Following her clerkships, she joined the nationally-recognized law firm of Sidley & Austin, where she was a member of the Constitutional, Criminal, and Civil Litigation section. She later served as Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the U.S. Department of Justice.
