Scholar Exchange: Remembering Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

In honor of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the National Constitution Center is devoting this Friday’s Scholar Exchange class to her personal story and constitutional legacy. Students of all ages will learn about Justice Ginsburg, the second woman in history to serve as a justice on the Supreme Court, and how she earned the nickname ‘Notorious RBG’ for her strong dissents. In her honor, we will read her dissents and explore her impact on the law by reviewing significant cases such as: Safford Unified School District v. Redding, Obergefell v. Hodges, and Bush v. Gore.
