It’s Women’s History Month! Creative Conversations is celebrating a living legend, a woman who changed the course of gender discrimination in American law & history; Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. We invite you to learn more about her history as a litigator and explore the dissents as S.C.J. that have given her such fame. Then we’ll argue her importance in Women’s history on our court: the Creative Conversation Court! Bring your favorite snacks & beverage.
