The body of former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor will lie in repose at the Supreme Court's Great Hall later this month ahead of a private funeral service for the first woman to serve on the high court.
O'Connor, who died Friday at the age of 93, will be honored on Dec. 18 at the Supreme Court's Great Hall, where members of the public can pay their respects from 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. A private ceremony will start at 9:30 a.m.

The late justice, who broke barriers as the first woman ever to sit on the nine-member bench, will have a funeral service on Dec. 19, which will be invitation-only.
The Supreme Court hung a black drape over the courtroom doors this week in honor of O'Connor, who served for more than 24 years on the high court. Her death on Friday was due to complications from dementia.
Chief Justice John Roberts also started the week's slate of oral arguments on Monday by honoring O'Connor with a moment of silence.

“Always putting one foot in front of the other — ‘just do it,’ she would say — she changed the world,” Roberts said Monday.
“And now, as Justice O’Connor would somewhat impatiently insist, we turn to the business of the court,” the chief justice said before beginning the day's arguments.
