Supreme Court Nominee talks about a book...

(Dillon) Robinson said she was first drawn to a career in law because of a book she read as a child.

(Robinson) "I mean this is going to sound really corny. But anybody who has ever read ‘To Kill a Mockingbird' and has gotten to know Atticus Finch, I think, can understand what will inspire anyone to go into law. And that to me, I think, was the kicker."

(Dillon) Harper Lee's story of a small town, southern lawyer focused on civil rights and equal justice - the same themes that have echoed in Robinson's own career.

Robinson said she will wrap up work in the governor's office over the next few weeks, and expects to be sworn into the high court next month.
