"Updated to include Justice Ginsburg's final term on the Supreme Court."

"Many of us are familiar with late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's image as the "Notorious RBG"; we've seen it in books, in movies, and on merchandise ranging from T-shirts to scented candles. Her vigorous dissents on behalf of liberal values are celebrated. Her inspiring life story and formidable work ethic are well known. But how much do most of us know about the ways her viewpoint shaped the development of law in the United States from the 1970s onward? Newly updated to include her final term on the court, this collection of Justice Ginsburg's groundbreaking arguments, opinions, and dissents illuminates her enduring contributions to American jurisprudence. Intended for the reader who has not attended law school, the book includes a broad range of Ginsburg's legal writings from early arguments before the Supreme Court in the 1970s that demolished barriers to legal equality between men and women, to her later opinions and dissents as a member of the Court on matters as diverse as the First Amendment's establishment clause and state absentee ballot deadlines during the pandemic. An expanded summary of Ginsburg's life opens the book, and introductions to her writings explain the background, issues, and laws involved in each case. Justice Ginsburg often chose to speak from the bench when a decision was handed down in the Supreme Court, in a simplified version of her written opinion or dissent. Her bench announcements are included with most of the cases in this book."-- Provided by publisher.
