  • Lessons Learned from Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
    LESSONS LEARNED FROM JUSTICE RUTH BADER GINSBURG Amanda L. Tyler* INTRODUCTION Serving as a law clerk for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the Supreme Court’s October Term 1999 was one of the single greatest privileges and honors of my life. As a trailblazer who opened up opportunities for women, she was a personal hero. How many people get to say that they worked for their hero? Justice Ginsburg was defined by her brilliance, her dedication to public service, her resilience, and her unwavering devotion to taking up the Founders’ calling, set out in the Preamble to our Constitution, to make ours a “more perfect Union.”1 She was a profoundly dedicated public servant in no small measure because she appreciated just how important her role was in ensuring that our Constitution belongs to everyone. Whether as an advocate or a Justice, she tirelessly fought to dismantle discrimination and more generally to open opportunities for every person to live up to their full human potential. Without question, she left this world a better place than she found it, and we are all the beneficiaries. As an advocate, Ruth Bader Ginsburg challenged our society to liber- ate all persons from the gender-based stereotypes that held them back. As a federal judge for forty years—twenty-seven of them on the Supreme Court—she continued and expanded upon that work, even when it meant in dissent calling out her colleagues for improperly walking back earlier gains or halting future progress.2 In total, she wrote over 700 opinions on the D.C.

Today we're featuring a conversation with Supreme Court Associate Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg from our archives. She died Friday. Ginsburg served as the second woman on the nation's highest court and was a champion of justice and steadfast advocate for civil and human rights. Her musical love was opera, yet her late in life status as a powerful cultural icon to a younger generation is more akin to a rockstar than a diva. Tricia Johnson: In 2018, a law student dubbed her the notorious RBG and the moniker consumed the internet and popular culture. Her wit and playful sense of humor are on full display in this conversation. Ruth Bader Ginsburg: And sad for me, I am a monotone. So I sing in only two places, one is the shower and the other is my dreams. Tricia Johnson: Aspen Ideas to Go brings you compelling conversations from the Aspen Institute. Today's show features Ginsburg speaking to the Aspen Wye Fellows in 2017 about her book, My Own Words.

    VOLUME 134 JANUARY 2021 NUMBER 3 © 2021 by The Harvard Law Review Association MEMORIAM: JUSTICE RUTH BADER GINSBURG The editors of the Harvard Law Review respectfully offer this collec- tion of tributes to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Brenda Feigen∗ Ruth Bader Ginsburg changed all our lives by profoundly influenc- ing the law that had encouraged sex discrimination in the United States for centuries. I am writing now in tribute to her. In the nineteenth century, the Supreme Court ruled that women had neither the right to practice law1 nor the right to vote.2 In the mid- twentieth century, the Court approved “beneficial” practices by states making women’s service on juries optional3 and approved Michigan’s law preventing women from working in bars unless a male relative was present when they were working.4 In 1970, while some of us were joining the call of the women’s liber- ation movement to march in protest of outrageous sex discrimination, Ruth and her husband Marty, a tax lawyer, decided to represent Charles Moritz, who lived alone with his elderly mother and had tried to obtain a tax deduction for wages paid to her caregiver.5 The Tax Court had said that type of deduction was available only “to a woman, a widower ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ∗ J.D. 1969, Harvard Law School.
