From the first woman to sit on the United States Supreme Court, Out of Order sheds light on the centuries of change and upheaval that transformed the Supreme Court from its uncertain beginnings into the institution that thrives today.
From the early days of circuit-riding to the changes in civil rights; from foundational decisions such as Marbury vs. Madison to modern-day cases such as Hamdi vs. Rumsfeld, Justice O’Connor weaves together stories from the Court that have helped define our nation’s progress.
Justice O’Connor paints vivid pictures of Justices in history. We get a rare glimpse into the Court’s inner workings: how cases are chosen for hearing; the personal relationships among the Justices; and the traditions that bind one generation of jurists to the next—from the seating arrangements at Court lunches to the competitive basketball games played in the Court Building’s top-floor gymnasium.
The speaker was introduced by Esther Foer and Bradley Graham.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
