Asked by Wiki User

US Supreme Court Justices aren't required to serve for life; they're entitled to serve for life unless they're impeached or become unable to fulfill their role on the Court. Some remain in office until they die; others retire due to ill health or for personal reasons.

O'Connor retired in good health in January 2006 to spend more time with her husband, John Jay O'Connor, III, who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. She has been active in projects designed to educate young people on the role and purpose of the Court, has written a book, numerous articles and op-ed pieces, taught classes, and lectured to audiences.

According to Ellen Chapnick, a former colleague of Sonia Sotomayor's at Columbia Univeristy, the new justice's hobby is "people." "I've been in situations with her where everybody else around the table is a lot 'less important' - if you define importance by positions of power and prestige - and she is asking them questions," Chapnick remarked in an interview with CNN in July 2009.

Justice Sotomayor's brother, Juan, a physician living in New York, confirmed that his sister enjoys being with people, going to parties, and Salsa dancing, which is a fairly recent interest. He claims she also likes comic books.

Why did Sandra Day O'Connor have difficulty finding a job?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There were no private California law firms willing to hire Sandra Day O'Connor in the 1950s because being a woman was a liability at that time. One firm offered her a job as a legal secretary, an insult to someone who graduated near the top of her class at Stanford Law.

Sexism in private business hiring practices was a serious issue for women at that time, one that couldn't readily be addressed through litigation because there was no EEOC or anti-discrimination statutes prior to passage of the Civil Rights Acts of the 1960s.

Justice O'Connor found work in the public sector (government) and as a civilian contractor for the military.
