About this Item

The April 2011 issue of the Harvard Law Review. Octavo, original publisher's wrappers. From the library of American lawyer and jurist Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Ruth Bader Ginsburg served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in 2020 and was responsible for some of the most eventful legal decisions of the past half-century. Nominated by President Bill Clinton in 1993 to replace retiring justice Byron White, Ginsburg became the first Jewish woman and the second woman to serve on the Court, after Sandra Day Oâ Connor. Ginsburg spent much of her legal career as an advocate for gender equality and womenâ s rights, winning many arguments before the Supreme Court. During her tenure as associate justice of the Supreme Court, Ginsburg received attention for her fiery and passionate dissents that reflected liberal views of the law. She was popularly dubbed â the Notorious R.B.G.â , a moniker she later embraced. She authored several important majority opinions related to gender discrimination, voting rights, and affirmative action in cases such as United States v. Virginia (1996) which struck down the Virginia Military Instituteâ s male-only admissions policy as violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, Olmstead v. L.C. (1999) in which the Court ruled that mental illness is a form of disability covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and Friends of the Earth, Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services, Inc. (2000) in which the Court held that residents have standing to seek fines for an industrial polluter that affected their interests and that is able to continue doing so. In near fine condition. With the original transmittal Harvard Law Review transmittal card inscribed to Ruth Bader Ginsburg laid in. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box by the Harcourt Bindery. Justice Ginsburg's In Memoriam essay on Kaplan. The journal features articles written by legal scholars, professors, and judges, as well as student-written notes and case comments. Topics covered include constitutional law, criminal justice, international law, and emerging legal trends. The Harvard Law Review is known for its rigorous editorial standards and is edited by Harvard Law students, who select and refine the published pieces.
