O'Connor's Law
O'Connor's Law refers to a principle in the field of law that emphasizes the importance of judicial discretion in decision-making. It suggests that judges should have the flexibility to interpret laws based on the specific circumstances of each case, rather than strictly adhering to rigid legal standards. This approach aims to ensure that justice is served in a fair and equitable manner.
The law is named after Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. Her opinions often highlighted the need for a balanced approach to legal interpretation, advocating for a consideration of the broader implications of judicial decisions on society.
