What are the odds? My hubby Wallace Jefferson argued @SupremeCourt_TX case at @UHLAW (where I'm the prof - not him!) on my bday. We are used to crazy odds - we share bdays with Richard & Mildred Loving whose @USSupremeCourt case Loving v. VA made our marriage legal! Happy bday to Richard & me 🎉 And if you want to know why Wallace is holding up a giant block of salt, watch the argument here: https://t.co/0Lrme4Uhwf

Sandra Day O'Connor, 1st female U.S. Supreme Court justice, would be 94 today - fitting that she was born in Women's History Month! Learn about historic nomination - including unpublished materials from @RonaldReagan archives & excerpts @ShortlistedBook ➡️ https://t.co/pHA8TfcxPE

I attended US Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's funeral today at the National Cathedral. It was a moving, emotional experience. In this post, I share images and highlights from the tributes. Take the time to watch the whole service if you can. https://t.co/6SFCyxG4D0

Remembering Sandra Day O'Connor through previously unpublished materials from the Reagan archives - here's what I found about her nomination in my research at the @Reagan_Library ⚖️

[Professor Renee Knake Jefferson @reneeknake]

The passing of Justice O’Connor marks a defining milestone in our nation’s history at a time where women’s rights are increasingly under threat. She said, about being the first woman on the Supreme Court, she did not want to be the last. Thanks to her extraordinary example and legacy as the first, countless women have been selected for positions of leadership and power not just in the legal profession but across all sectors. https://t.co/aljOA3N8sh

Three years of planning the Wallace B. Jefferson portrait…finally got to celebrate! Lots of laughs, a few tears & a true appreciation of what it means to capture a life in a portrait. ❤️

Read @SamJefferson__ brilliant speech to honor the historic moment: https://t.co/zG1YJSbKiV

Insightful piece on from @Tatum_Hunter_ - my take:

Renee Knake Jefferson, a law professor at the University of Houston who has studied gendered double standards in the workplace, called beauty a “double bind.” “No matter what choice we make, we can't win,” Jefferson said.

#SCOTUS

[Professor Renee Knake Jefferson @reneeknake]

I was born in 1973, same as Roe v Wade. 

But b/c of #DobbsDecision only one of us turns 50 this year & my daughter has fewer rights than I grew up with.

#NotoriousRBG taught w/ #LillyLedbetterFairPayAct if #SCOTUS fails to protect rights, go to Congress.

Now? #CodifyRoe

Renee Knake Jefferson @UHLAW was interviewed by Diane P. Wood of U.S. Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit to discuss her book ‘Shortlisted,” which details women considered, but passed over, for a position on #SCOTUS. https://t.co/1Fh1C3zDBT

Had the chance today to listen to Professor @reneeknake speak about her @ShortlistedBook with coauthor @hannahbrenner. Its about more than lady judges! Thanks to #HookedBookstore and @MattGrossmann for hosting.

[Professor Renee Knake Jefferson @reneeknake]

Changing trajectories (for careers AND for access to legal services) is 💯 what motivated my #ReInventLaw work. Here’s to another decade and more of continuing these efforts! And thank you @rightbrainlaw both for your kind words + the work you do!
