By age 1.729, the then leader of the High Office named her her successor, and thus she became the 1257th Lord High Valeyard and Law of Gallifrey, and would hold that position until the very end of the Time War. Her influence on the office and society was so long and great that by the time the Doctor was born, most Time Lords couldn't remember what the High Office had looked like ''without'' the Professor in charge.
