Justice Sandra Day O’Connor solidified her legacy as the first female jurist to sit on the Supreme Court.
One of her former clerks, Tamarra Matthews Johnson, joins Cases and Controversies to discuss her former boss as a justice and as a role model for women.
She touches on O’Connor’s career hurdles and how her political experience came through in her time on the high court bench.
Johnson recalls O’Connor as an active member who tried to think of things from multiple points of view—that she saw herself as someone who understood that the law meant something to people in their daily lives.
