Cardozo Law Review
Abstract
Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a unique figure in American history: as Chief Justice Roberts put it, she was “a jurist of historic stature.”1 She was that, of course, but she was so much more. If she had never served on the Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg would still have been a person of historic stature. She was a leading legal scholar who wrote major works about procedure, jurisdiction, comparative law, and constitutional law. And she was the architect of a litigation campaign that resulted in a series of Supreme Court rulings that fundamentally transformed the law of gender discrimination.
