    Sandra Day O'Connor, retired Supreme Court Associate Justice and long-time Arizona legal fixture, attended the ceremonial groundbreaking for the Arizona Center for Law Society, the new building which will house the law school named for her.

    O'Connor was joined by Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, ASU President Michael Crow and other university officials.

    The school was renamed for O'Connor in 2006 following her retirement from the Supreme Court.
