A FTER THURGOOD MARSHALL retired from the Supreme Court in 1991, his colleague Sandra Day O’Connor wrote a tribute to the civil-rights hero. The first black justice brought not only “legal acumen” but “life experiences” and a “special perspective” to oral arguments and the justices’ private conferences. Marshall “saw the deepest wounds in the social fabric and used law to help heal them”, O’Connor wrote, and “profoundly” influenced her jurisprudence.
他的同事桑德拉·戴·奥康纳（Sandra Day O’Connor）于1991年从最高法院退休的瑟古德·马歇尔（Thurgood Marshall）向民族右翼英雄致敬。第一个黑人大法官不仅带来了“法律敏锐度”，而且带来了“生活经验”，并带来了口头论点和大法官的私人会议的“生活经验”和“特殊观点”。马歇尔（Marshall）“看到社会结构中最深的伤口，并利用法律来帮助他们治愈它们”，“深刻地”影响了她的法学。
