Today we’re chatting with Justice Sheila O’Brien, who retired from the Illinois Appellate court in 2011. You may know her as the person who successfully petitioned for a special prosecutor in the Jussie Smollett case, but I know her as my mom. In 1985 at just 29 years old, she was appointed the first female judge in St. Clair County in Illinois and so I’m excited to speak with her about those first hundred days.
