Just Watch Me - Paperback

Judge Rosemarie Aquilina made headlines with her unprecedented judicial decisions during the Nassar sentencing hearing, but in a life filled with unconventional choices and bold decisions, this was only one of her many extraordinary moments. In this empowering memoir, Judge Aquilina finally shares her own deeply personal story.

Every time Rosemarie was told she couldn't do something, her response was a resounding "Just watch me." She lived these words, first, as a young woman when told she couldn't pursue a career in the male-dominated legal field. Next, as a government staffer when told she couldn't be a Judge Advocate General Officer in the Michigan National Guard and a mother. And finally, as a judge when told she should not allow every Sister Survivor to speak in the Nassar case.

Through it all, Judge Aquilina's grit and perseverance resulted in a uniquely courageous life story. Now she'll inspire you to make your own bold choices and stand strong in the face of life's greatest challenges.
