At the core of our mission lies a commitment to public service—a principle embodied by our namesake, the late Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. With her legacy as our compass, we endeavor to expand our footprint in public service, ensuring that every graduate leaves our institution equipped not only with legal acumen, but also with a profound sense civic duty to contribute to their communities.

Our mission can only be realized with the continued support of our community. Together, we will propel ASU Law toward even greater heights.

O'Connor Justice Prize

The first woman appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court, Justice O’Connor lived a life dedicated to public service and helped to shape our nation’s legal history. Her work was centered on upholding the rule of law and ensuring justice for all. The O’Connor Justice Prize was established in 2014 to raise visibility for the rule of law initiatives, recognize people who have made extraordinary contributions to advancing the rule of law, justice and human rights and honor Justice O’Connor’s legacy.
