　　In this remarkable book, a national bestseller in hardcover,

Sandra Day O’Connor explores the law, her life as a Supreme Court

Justice, and how the Court has evolved and continues to function,

grow, and change as an American institution. Tracing some of the

origins of American law through history, people, ideas, and

landmark cases, O’Connor sheds new light on the basics, exploring

through personal observation the evolution of the Court and

American democratic traditions. Straight-talking, clear-eyed,

inspiring, The Majesty of the Law is more than a reflection on

O’Connor’s own experiences as the first female Justice of the

Supreme Court; it also reveals some of the things she has learned

and believes about American law and life—reflections gleaned over

her years as one of the most powerful and inspiring women in

American history.

　　?With this important book, one of the most intriguing figures

in American history reveals her private musings about history, the

law, and her own life?both public and personal. The Majesty of the

Law shows us why Sandra Day O?Connor is so compelling as a human

being and so vital as a public thinker.?

　　?Michael Beschloss, author of The Conquerors: Roosevelt, Truman

and the Destruction of Hitler?s Germany, 1941?1945

　　?Justice O?Connor?s newest book will intrigue and enlighten many

different readers. She discusses multiple issues, including what

it?s like to be on the Supreme Court, how and by whom the Court has

been shaped, and the meaning of the rule of law. Her reflections on

women in the law, and women in power, are especially

thought-provoking. No one is better qualified than she to write

about these issues, and she does so with her customary wit and

clarity.?

　　?Nan Keohane, president, Duke University

　　?A marvelous collection of wide-ranging and plainspoken

ruminations on the Constitution, constitutionalism, and the Supreme

Court by the Court?s first female Justice. Justice O?Connor?s

keen-wittedness, honesty, and common sense are revealed throughout.

Although she eloquently reveals the majesty of the law, she also

brings that majesty down to earth and makes it intelligible to all

of us. It is her special genius.?

　　?Gordon S. Wood, Alva O. Way University Professor and professor

of history at Brown University, author of The American Revolution:

A History

　　?In The Majesty of the Law, Justice Sandra Day O?Connor has

blended personal reflections with key professional insights to give

us a richly textured account of the fascinating history, current

status, and hopeful future of the rule of law. The fact that the

author is destined to take her place among the most influential

Justices to serve on the modern U.S. Supreme Court makes this

important book all the more significant.?
