This free program at the Syosset library on Thursday, March 3, at 2 p.m. examines the women that have occupied The Supreme Court. Since Sandra Day O’Connor’s appointment to the Supreme Court in 1981, three other women have been nominated to serve on the highest court in the land.

In this lecture, James Coll discusses their lives and some of the important decisions—and dissents—that have been a part of their continuing legacy.
