The symposium will explore Justice Ginsburg's legacy and the work that still needs to be done in the field of gender, sexuality, and the law. The symposium will include opening remarks by Professor Jane Ginsburg, daughter of Justice Ginsburg. A wide range of scholars will discuss how Justice Ginsburg's achievements have impacted their own work and scholarship in the areas of race, LGBTQ+ issues, international law, and more.
The symposium will also be held live on the Newark campus followed by the renaming of 15 Washington Street in honor of Justice Ginsburg. As a Rutgers Law School faculty member, Ginsburg served as the first faculty adviser to the Women's Rights Law Reporter, the nation's oldest legal periodical focusing on the field of women's rights law.
