Justice Sandra Day O'Connor Remembered

Chief Justice Roberts and President Biden Pay Tribute to the First Woman on the Supreme Court

Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, passed away last Friday at the age of 93.
Chief Justice John Roberts paid tribute to O'Connor in the courtroom, highlighting her life and career, from her roots in Arizona to her groundbreaking role on the Supreme Court.
Roberts described O'Connor as an 'irresistible force of will' who 'changed the world' through her work on and off the court.
President Biden issued a proclamation in honor of O'Connor, ordering that flags be flown at half-staff on the day of her interment.
The Supreme Court honored O'Connor by draping a black cloth over the courtroom doors, a tradition dating back at least 150 years.
