Former Supreme Court Justice O’Connor to Join 3rd Circuit Panel
Former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor is scheduled to participate in deciding 16 cases and hearing four oral arguments this week as a visiting judge on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The first lawyer to argue before O'Connor -- Gibson Dunn & Crutcher's Mark Perry -- will be a familiar face because he clerked for O'Connor during the 1993-1994 high court term. Joining Perry on a brief will be Eugene Scalia, son of O'Connor's former Court colleague.
