Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor revisits Radford.
Sandra Day O'Connor was born on March 26, 1930 in El Paso,
Texas. When she reached school age her parents sent her back to El
Paso to live with her grandmother and attended Radford School.
Later Ms. Day attended Stanford University, where she received her
B.A. in economics in 1950. She continued at Stanford for her law
degree, graduating in two years rather than the customary three,
and graduating third out of a class of 102. It was during her work
as editor on the Stanford Law Review that she met John Jay
O'Connor III, also attending law school at Stanford. Soon after
graduation they were married. The O'Connors settled in Phoenix,
Arizona.
O'Connor served as an Arizona assistant attorney general from 1965
to 1969, when she was appointed to a vacancy in the Arizona
Senate. In 1974, she ran successfully for trial judge, a position
she held until she was appointed to the Arizona Court of Appeals
in 1979. Eighteen months later, on July 7, 1981 President Ronald
Reagan nominated her to the Supreme Court. In September 1981,
Sandra Day O'Connor became the Court's 102nd justice and its first
female member.
