WILLIA~ISBURG, VIRGINIA SUNKEN GARDEN
MAY 16,2010 3:00 P.M. SANDRA DAY O'CONNOR Chancellor, College of William & Mary Associate Justice ofthe Supreme Court, Retired
Sandra Day O'Connor, one of most distinguished jurists in the history of the United States Supreme Court and its first female justlce, addressed the most profound legal issues of our time with wisdom, courage, and skill. After a long career in public service, including nearly a quarter century on the nation's highest court, she retired in 2006.
Justice O'Connor spent her childhood on an isolated cattle ranch in southeastern Arizona tending to a variety of ranch chores, raising farm animals, and reading voraciously. After completing school in EI Paso, Texas, she went to Stanford University, earning a B.A. in economics (magna cum laude) and an LL.B. She was an editor of the law review and graduated third in her law class - two spots behind her friend and future colleague the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist.
After being admitted to the bar, the future Justice served as Deputy County Attorney of San Mateo County, California and as a civilian attorney for the U.S. Army Quartermaster Market Center in Frankfurt, Germany. She also practiced law in Maryvale, Arizona and served as Assistant Attorney General of Arizona from 1965 to 1969. She was appointed to the Arizona State Senate in 1969 and then was reelected to two terms, during which she served as Majority Leader. In 1975 she was elected Judge of the Maricopa County Superior Court and served until 1979 when she was appointed to the Arizona Court of Appeals.
President Ronald Reagan nominated her as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court and she took her seat September 25, 1981. On April 7, 2006, she was formally installed as the 23 rd Chancellor of William & Mary, succeeding Henry Kissinger in that important post. Justice O'Connor's service as Chancellor has brought her often to the College and Law School campuses, where she has helped commemorate our most important events and met with a great many classes and student groups.

* ORDER OF THE COIF
The Order of the Coifis a national scholastic honor society in law. Its purpose is ''to foster a spirit of careful study and to mark in a fitting manner those who have attained a high grade of scholarship" in the study oflaw. The English Order of the Coif was the most ancient and one of the most honored institutions of the common law. Its origins may antedate the Norman Conquest. The American Order of the Coif was founded in 1912. Membership in it is the 'highest academic honor a law student can achieve. It is equivalent to membership in Phi Beta Kappa for undergraduates and recognizes the scholastic achievement of students selected from the upper ten percent of their class. The inductees are denoted by an asterisk in the list of Juris Doctor graduates.
