Katz went to high school at the Berkeley Institute in Brooklyn (now known as the Berkeley Carroll School).
She received a bachelor of arts degree, graduating cum laude, in 1974 from Brandeis University and her J.D. degree, graduating cum laude, from the University of Connecticut School of Law in 1977.
Katz started her professional career in 1977 as an attorney at the law firm of Winnick, Vine and Welch (now Winnick, Vine, Welch & Teodosio ) in Shelton, Connecticut.

She served as Chief of Legal Services for the Office of the Chief Public Defender from 1983 to 1989 and was the first woman to serve in this role in Connecticut.
Katz was nominated for the Superior Court bench by Gov. William A. O'Neill in 1989.
She was elevated to the state Supreme Court by Gov. Lowell P. Weicker Jr. in 1992.
Her appointment at age 39 made her, at the time, the youngest justice ever appointed to the Connecticut Supreme Court.
She was reappointed by Gov. John G. Rowland in 2001 and Gov. M. Jodi Rell in 2009.
She was the first public defender to serve on the Connecticut Supreme Court and the second woman to serve on the court after Justice Ellen Ash Peters.
On November 30, 2010, incoming Gov. Dannel Malloy named Justice Katz to head the troubled Connecticut Department of Children and Families (DCF).

During her 18+ years as an associate justice of the Connecticut Supreme Court, Justice Katz sat on approximately 2,500 cases and authored nearly 500 opinions.
Some notable and/or controversial opinions and cases include:
She stepped down from the Connecticut Supreme Court on January 5, 2011 in anticipation of assuming the DCF post.
Justice Katz said she looked forward to the challenge of leading DCF, noting, "I can think of few things more important than the mission of this agency."
Joette Katz was confirmed as Commissioner of DCF by unanimous vote of the Connecticut State Senate on February 4, 2011.
Connecticut made considerable progress reforming the state child welfare system under the leadership of Commissioner Katz.
A report ("The Malloy-Wyman Record: A Review Across Five Areas of Policy, January 5, 2011 – January 9, 2019") released by Governor Malloy and Lieutenant Governor Nancy Wyman at the end of their terms, summarized some of the progress made at DCF under Commissioner Katz's leadership:
In 2015, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, one of the leading organizations in child welfare issues in the U.S., published a case study that described changes at Connecticut's DCF as the "Connecticut Turnaround".
In this report, they indicated that, "Over five years, Connecticut has made substantial progress in turning around its troubled child welfare agency. ... the state has instituted improvements, driven down the number of unnecessary child removals and ensured that children entering state custody live in families whenever possible, not in group placements."
