America's first female Supreme Court justice unveiled a videogame project on Wednesday to teach children how courts work, saying she wanted to counter partisan criticism that judges are "godless" activists.Sandra Day O'Connor, 78, who served as U.S. Supreme Court justice from 1981 until her retirement in 2006, said she never imagined she would be asked to address a conference about digital gaming.
She said she got involved with developing the project called "Our Courts" out of concern over public ignorance about the judiciary and partisan attacks on what should be an independent institution.

She said the only way to preserve an independent judiciary was through public education, which she said was failing to produce citizens with enough knowledge about the three branches of U.S. government — legislative, executive and judicial.


So true :(

I always liked her, but I fear that over the last 20 years the selection process has influenced judicial descions. It's sad, I agree with her.

Good idea going with a video game, hopefully it won't be boring though.

Seeing an animated Justice O'Connor yell OBJECTION! Should be interesting. I'm guessing there's photoshops of that out there somewhere already.
