Former United States Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor will be the featured speaker October 27 at the Tennessee Supreme Court Historical Society's annual dinner.
The event, beginning at 7 p.m. at the Nashville Downtown Hilton, will honor Tennessee Supreme Court Chief Justice Janice M. Holder, Justices Cornelia A. Clark, Gary R. Wade, William C. Koch, Jr., and Sharon G. Lee and retired Chief Justice William. M. Barker.
O'Connor, who served as an associate justice from 1981 until her retirement in 2006, was the first woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Tennessee Supreme Court Historical Society was created in 1994 to compile, preserve and provide historic and archival information about the Supreme Court and appellate courts, and to promote a better understanding of the role of the Tennessee judiciary.
Video and photography will not be allowed at the dinner and program.
