Retired Supreme Court justice to visit KU

Sandra Day O’Connor, retired associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, next week will visit the Kansas University School of Law.

She will deliver the school’s 2010 Shook, Hardy & Bacon Center for Excellence in Advocacy Annual Lecture. The talk, “An Evening with Justice Sandra Day O’Connor,” will take the form of a fireside chat between O’Connor and Judge Deanell Reece Tacha of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit.

It is set for 7:30 p.m. Monday at the Dole Institute of Politics. The invitation-only event is not open to the public.

O’Connor will also meet with law students and faculty during her two-day visit.
