GWLR Volume 90 Symposium: The Legacy of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was, by any estimation, one of the towering
legal figures of the 20th and early 21st century. Justice Ginsburg’s
life and work as a scholar, advocate, judge, and justice meaningfully
changed the law, and her iconic presence and personal life path inspired
generations of lawyers and activists around the world. Best known for
her path-marking work on issues of gender equality, Ginsburg also made
significant contributions to jurisprudence in Civil Procedure, Conflict
of Laws, Administrative Law, International Law, and many other fields.
The George Washington Law Review is pleased and honored to host the first comprehensive legal academic consideration of Justice Ginsburg’s contributions since her death in 2020. A group of leading legal scholars and sitting judges, all of whom clerked for Justice Ginsburg, will provide analyses of various aspects of Ginsburg’s scholarship and jurisprudence, as well as personal reflections on her ongoing influence on the lives of those she hired as clerks. Justice Stephen G. Breyer will offer keynote remarks and answer questions about Justice Ginsburg as a colleague and friend.
Together, the essays and remarks collected in this symposium issue provide a taste of Justice Ginsburg’s extraordinary legacy and a thoughtful consideration of her jurisprudence.
