Editorial Reviews: Product Description 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.

November 14, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful I have much respect to Sandra Day O'connor for not only being the first woman to sit in the United States Supreme Court and for breaking lot of barriers for women all over the world, regardless of whether you are in a law industry or not. I had high expectation for this book and was really looking forward to reading about her life and the court. I anticipated this book to be biography of her life, her decisions, and her life in the court; however, it is more like a history of the Supreme Court and the Constitution. It is quite informative, but poorly written. Organization structure is very confusing and she goes from one topic to another in a poor manner. Hard to follow and read. I was very disappointed. Good overview November 10, 2007 This is a good overview of a very broad topic. It never becomes steeped in legalese, and yet communicates a great deal of information. In addition to details, the book also provides a insight into the overall thought patterns involved in the court's deliberations. While the book does deal with the subject of women in the law, it is more even-handed than might be expected. Good Review of a Deep Subject February 12, 2007 1 out of 2 found this review helpful The law is a deep subject , this book is geared for the average American. Some anecdotes are provide of Justice O'connor's career path, an explanation of the lifestyle of a Supreme Sourt justice, a little history of the law and the United States. The latter part of the book explains the Amendments, The author comes into her own on womens rights. I generally would not read a law book, but the style of explaining the constitution and law did not put me off. Giving a little historical background for each amendment, appealed to me. I found the book very rewarding for the information it contained, rewarding as a quick summary of an area I would not otherwise have read about. The Majesty of the Law January 16, 2007 0 out of 1 found this review helpful Much interesting contenet about the history of the Supreme Court, how it functions as a group, it's purpose under the constitution. Also well wriiten section about the history of women's voting rights. Ocassonally a bit repetative. I learned and enjoyed. Well written but dry January 2, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I read a lot of biography and I have tremendous respect for Sandra Day O'Connor. I thought, for sure, this was a win-win combination for this book. Sadly, I only made it three quarters through before I donated it to the local library. It is well written but dry.
