Will's class met with Justice O'Connor and she talked to them about the Supreme Court and some of its history and then she took their questions. The girls all sat on one side and the boys all sat on the other. It was funny that they all segregated themselves this way. The kids had all kinds of questions but the girls were mainly interested in what it was like to be the first woman on the Supreme Court.

Justice O'Connor said she felt honored to have been selected and worried about whether she could do a good job since whatever she did would reflect upon all women. Then she said it was even better when another woman was appointed to the Supreme Court and it would have been great if there had been 3 or 4 or 5 of them! Justice O'Connor did such a nice job of talking with the children without being condescending or oversimplifying anything but she was warm and friendly too.
