How Jane and John Met:

Jane about meeting John: "In a beach house in Delaware. I love to swim, and I love the ocean. … (In 1986) I brought a number of friends from Shaw Pittman, and we joined a beach house that had been started by a friend over at Hogan and Hartson (the law firm for which John Roberts worked). But he [John] was not really quite the beach-goer that I was. He preferred to play golf, so we didn’t meet until ’91 ... When I came back from Australia in ’93 we met again ... And we started to date."

Jane: "Along the way, I worked many jobs to make ends meet. I’ve been a restaurant waitress, a hotel hostess, a car parker, a nurse’s aide, a maid in a motel, a bookkeeper, and a researcher. I was an Irish Catholic waitress in a Greek restaurant in a Jewish neighborhood. I was also a cocktail waitress in a port town near the iron ore mines in far Western Australia, a thousand miles from the nearest paved road, and I hitch-hiked to get there. It was like the Wild West with miners ordering rum and Coke by the pitcher and huge bar bouncers from the Thursday Islands throwing miners who got out of hand out the window."

Quotes About the Marriage of John and Jane Roberts:

Christina Wilkie: "People who know Jane Roberts and her husband, however, say the pressures of the high court have done little to change day-to-day life in their family over the past seven years. 'They've been in Washington a long time, and they're really comfortable here,' said Jane's former classmate. 'Jane is outgoing, and she's more quick to laugh than you might expect. Plus, they also happen to be incredibly nice. He's a doll. He is so sweet.' 'I think what's amazing about them is that they've managed to do a really high-quality job of parenting with these incredibly demanding careers,' said McElroy, the author."
