Set to be the youngest justice on the United States’ Supreme Court bench, religious conservative Amy Coney Barrett could influence the country for decades to come.
At 48 years old, Amy Coney Barrett will be the youngest justice on the United States' Supreme Court, if confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate.
After growing up in New Orleans, she became a top student at Notre Dame law school in Indiana. Early on in her career, she worked for renowned conservative Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia, who she praised following her nomination. But despite being known for her great legal mind through teaching at Notre Dame, her first experience presiding over a courtroom came in 2017 when she was appointed to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.
