ABA women trailblazers project announces Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg oral history

“The American Bar Association Women Trailblazers in the Law Project today announced the release of the oral history of U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the second woman to be appointed to the Supreme Court. Justice Ginsburg’s oral history memorializes her personal and professional life in her own words, preserving her experiences, observations and legacy for future generations. Consistent with her wishes, the oral history is being released today, the fifth anniversary of her death. The oral history consists of eight in-depth interviews with Justice Ginsburg conducted between 1995 and 2014 by Maeva Marcus, a historian with George Washington University Law School, on behalf of the Historical Society of the District of Columbia Circuit.  Justice Ginsburg donated the oral history to the ABA Women Trailblazers Project sponsored by the ABA Senior Lawyers Division. The project has collected detailed oral histories of more than 100 women pioneers in the legal profession nationwide who have made important contributions to the law and opened opportunities for other women. Stanford Law School’s Robert Crown Law Library, in an agreement with the ABA, has preserved and archived the ABA Women Trailblazers Project’s oral history collection and created a website to host and promote the collection. Justice Ginsburg’s oral history is now available on that website…”
