The Majesty of the Law
The Majesty of the Law: Reflections of a Supreme Court Justice | Sandra Day O'Connor
1 post | 3 read | 1 to read
In this remarkable book, a national bestseller in hardcover, Sandra Day OConnor explores the law, her life as a Supreme Court 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, ideas, and landmark cases, OConnor sheds new light on the basics, exploring through personal observation the evolution of the Court and American democratic traditions. Straight-talking, clear-eyed, inspiring, The Majesty of the Law is more than a reflection on OConnors own experiences as the first female Justice of the Supreme Court; it also reveals some of the things she has learned and believes about American law and lifereflections gleaned over her years as one of the most powerful and inspiring women in American history. From the Trade Paperback edition.

“The individual can make things happen. It is the individual who can bring a tear to my eye and then cause me to take pen in hand . . . Whether acting in the legal, governmental, or private realm, one concerned and dedicated person can meaningful affect what some consider an uncaring world. So give freely of yourself always to your family, your friends, your community, and your country. The world will pay you back many times over.”
