I am very saddened by the recent passing of United States Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.

Sandra Day O’Connor was the very first woman to ever be nominated to the Supreme Court, as Ronald Reagan; while running as a Republican candidate during the 1980 United States Presidential Election, had promised that any person that he would nominate to the Supreme Court would be a woman.

Sandra Day O’Connor had attended Law School at Stanford University with the future Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist.

Sandra Day O’Connor, having lived during the time when women did not have a major role within, and barely contributed to society; had experienced an onerous time trying to find a job at a Law Firm, or even start her own Firm.
