Courts - Justice Ginsburg looks back on Harvard Law School, early career
A good article today by Joanna Nairn, writing for the Harvard Law Record. A quote:
Justice Ginsburg joined Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Linda Greenhouse, First Circuit Court of Appeals Chief Judge Sandra Lynch, and U.S. District Court Judge Nancy Gertner for a conversation about the evolution of women's interaction with the law over the past four decades. Much of the discussion focused on the contributions of Justice Ginsburg herself, who was a vigorous advocate for women's rights before being nominated to the bench. After co-founding the ACLU's Women's Rights Project in 1972, Justice Ginsburg went on to argue five cases before the Supreme Court, including the landmark case of Reed v. Reed that was the first to strike down a law because of sex-based discrimination.I've checked C-SPAN and see that Justice Ginsburg will be on America & the Courts this Saturday, giving a speech at the New England Law School in Boston.
C-SPAN has also recorded this Symposium on Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg held March 12th in Boston, but it has not yet aired.
