Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s Legacy Still Leads the Way

Faegre Drinker proudly celebrates International Women’s Day, a day to praise the social, economic, cultural and political accomplishments of women around the world. In celebration, please join us for a presentation by attorney and acclaimed author Amanda L. Tyler as she discusses her relationship and experiences with a monumental figure in our nation’s legal history, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

With inspiring stories from the book she co-wrote with Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Justice, Justice Thou Shalt Pursue: A Life’s Work Fighting for a More Perfect Union, Amanda L. Tyler traces her mentor’s lifelong pursuit of gender equality and unwavering commitment to achieving “a more perfect union." In a more personal vein, Tyler explores the impact of Ginsburg’s particular leadership style on the lives of those who worked with and for her — from her exacting and meticulous standards to her deep integrity, personal warmth and generosity as a mentor and friend — and considers the emergence of “RBG the icon” as a “heroine of power, authority and dignity” for a new generation. Attendees will receive a copy of the book co-written by Amanda L. Tyler and Ruth Bader Ginsberg after the program.
