The Seattle Public Library presents Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor
Justice O'Connor will speak on "Education: A Big Idea in Today's America."
Justice O'Connor received her B.A. and LL.B. from Stanford University. She practiced law in Maryvale, Arizona, then worked as an assistant attorney general in Arizona. Appointed to the Arizona State Senate, she was subsequently re-elected to two two-year terms.
O'Connor served as judge of the Maricopa County Superior Court until 1979, when she was appointed to the Arizona Court of Appeals. President Reagan nominated her as an associate justice of the Supreme Court, and she took her seat Sept. 25, 1981. Justice O'Connor retired from the Supreme Court on Jan. 31, 2006.
Sandra Day O'Connor is the author of a memoir, "Lazy B: Growing Up on a Cattle Ranch in the American Southwest," and "Finding Susie," a children's picture book based on her own childhood.
This program is made possible with the support of The Seattle Public Library Foundation and media sponsors KUOW 94.9 Public Radio and The Seattle Times.
This event is presented in partnership with The Elliott Bay Book Co. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
