In celebration of the remarkable achievements of women in the legal field, Pericles Law Center, and our event sponsors KIAP, Attorneys at Law,  D&A Partners and PETROL CHILIKOV law offices  invite you to a free screening of the movie "First Monday in October." 

This 1981 fictional comedy follows the journey of the first woman justice on the US Supreme Court, shedding light on the challenges and triumphs she faced, and painting an enlightening portrait of attitudes towards women in the law in the 1970s and 80s. Life imitates art as the first real woman on the Supreme Court was nominated that same year, and as the fictional justices wrangle with the limits of free speech versus pornography in a case that actually took place in the Supreme Court a full seven years after this movie was produced.

Following the screening, we will enjoy refreshments, and engage in a heartfelt discussion and memorialization of the life and legacy of the recently deceased Sandra Day O’Connor, the trailblazing woman who made history as the first female justice on the US Supreme Court. Her groundbreaking contributions to the legal profession continue to inspire generations of women.

The event is entirely in English, providing a rare and valuable opportunity to practice your English language listening and conversational skills. A limited Russian/English vocabulary will be available.
