The Majesty of the Law: Reflections of a Supreme Court Justice

The Majesty of the Law: Reflections of a Supreme Court Justice
- First Edition
In The Majesty of the Law, Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day Oâ‚¬Connor explores the law, her life as a Justice, and how the Court has evolved and continues to function, grow, and change as an American institution. Tracing some of the origins of American law through history, people, and ideas, Oâ‚¬Connor sheds new light on the basics, and through personal observation she explores the development of institutions and ideas we have come to regard as fundamental.

Oâ‚¬Connor discusses notable cases that have shaped American democracy and the Court as we know it today, and she traces the turbulent battle women have fought for a place in our nationâ‚¬s legal system since Americaâ‚¬s inception. Straight-talking, clear-eyed, inspiring, The Majesty of the Law is more than a reflection on Oâ‚¬Connorâ‚¬s own experiences as the first female Justice of the Supreme Court; it also contains a discussion of how the suffrage movement changed the lives of womenâ‚¬"in voting booths, jury boxes, and homes across the country.

In The Majesty of the Law, Sandra Day Oâ‚¬Connor reveals some of what she has learned and believes about American law and life, insights gleaned over her years as one of the most powerful and inspiring women in American history.
