I think most people didn't want to do court duty.

I didn't want to be out of order answering any questions.

Historically, it took a long time before the court took any women law clerks. Finally, it did, but the numbers have never matched very effectively the percentages of law graduates out of graduating classes. We have far more than we ever did before and it's continued to grow, but it isn't a nice match yet.

There was no hostility at the court when I arrived.

As a citizen, you need to know how to be a part of it, how to express yourself - and not just by voting.

We don't accomplish anything in this world alone... and whatever happens is the result of the whole tapestry of one's life and all the weavings of individual threads form one to another that creates something.

We pay a price when we deprive children of the exposure to the values, principles, and education they need to make them good citizens.
