US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg visit to Willamette

We are honored to have had Justice Ginsburg join the law school's 125th anniversary and dedicate our Oregon Civic Justice Center in 2008. Her legacy left a lasting impact on the law, women's rights and civil liberties and we seek to preserve that legacy.
