Honoring and Remembering Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

 

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s influence on Harvard Law School runs deep. On Thursday, September 24, a star team of Harvard deans and HLS professors remembered Ginsburg as a teacher, boss, colleague, inspiration and friend. In a virtual event to celebrate her enormously consequential life, career, and contributions, the five panelists—former HLS dean Martha Minow, Dean of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study Tomiko Brown-Nagin, and HLS Professors Vicki Jackson, Michael Klarman and Daphna Renan—shared both personal and professional remembrances of Ginsburg. The talk touched not only on her great achievements as a litigator and jurist, but also on such personal details as her love of opera and her indifference toward sports (Klarman, a former clerk for Ginsburg, recalled that she once asked what the Super Bowl was).
