Why the down-votes? This looks like a decent question & I didn't find any exact dupes. +1 from me.

@TomBrossman The word “implement” in the title evoked a programming question, at least to me. I changed the title.

RAID 1 is mirroring; where data is duplicated on two different drives using either a hardware RAID controller or software (via the operating system). If either drive fails, the other continues to function as a single drive until the failed drive is replaced.
First thing that needs to be done is to install mdadm. To do so
Just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command below.
apt-get install mdadm
Or use USC
Once that is done,
Just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command below.
mdadm
--create creates a new RAID device
and follow the instructions

If you want to install on a boot volume with RAID, you can't use the desktop install CD. You need to use the "alternate install" CD:
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads
Inside that installer you'll have the options to create a RAID (MD) device and/or use LVM.
