With the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, we have lost one of our greatest legal minds. As a pathbreaking advocate for women's rights and as a judge for forty years, including twenty-seven years on the Supreme Court, she had a profound influence on the law and on the nation. What was she like as a person? What role did Judaism play in RBG's life and thought? What was it like to work for her? How did she feel about becoming a pop-culture icon? How will she be remembered?

To explore these questions and more, Ester Fuchs will moderate a conversation with two of RBG's former law clerks, Aaron Saiger and David Schizer (all members of CRO)

Registration is required for this event (zoom link/password will be sent to those who register)

Aaron Saiger clerked for Justice Ginsburg from 2001 to 2002, and is now a professor of law at Fordham Law School.

David Schizer clerked for Justice Ginsburg from 1994 to 1995 (her second year on the U.S. Supreme Court), and is now Dean Emeritus and Harvey R. Miller Professor of Law & Economics at Columbia Law School.

Ester Fuchs is a professor of International and Public Affairs and Political Science at Columbia University and Director of WhosOnTheBallot.org

This event is sponsored by Ester Fuchs and Daniel Victor in memory of Ester’s cousin, Rochelle Shoretz z”l, who clerked for Justice Ginsburg from 1998 to 1999, and who later founded Sharsheret, a national organization supporting Jewish women and families facing breast and ovarian cancer. Rochelle’s sister is Dr. Dalia Nagel, who with her husband Efraim Nagel and their five children, were former members of the Ramath Orah community.
