Today, we have a very special episode of The Jabot, where we discuss the life of the woman who inspired the name of this podcast, Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
On the latest episode of The Jabot, I’m joined by Berkeley Law Professor Amanda L. Tyler. She’s also a former clerk of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the co-author on the Justice’s final book, Justice, Justice Thou Shalt Pursue: A Life’s Work Fighting for a More Perfect Union. We discuss how Amanda went from clerk to writing this book with Justice Ginsburg. We also discuss the book as Justice Ginsburg’s final work, and how it frames her legacy. We talk about Justice Ginsburg’s penchant for writing powerful dissents and what RBG’s perspective was on that. We chat about what it was like working with Justice Ginsburg and how was clerking for her different than putting the book together.
The Jabot podcast is an offshoot of the Above the Law brand focused on the challenges women, people of color, LGBTQIA, and other diverse populations face in the legal industry. Our name comes from none other than the Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the jabot (decorative collar) she wore when delivering dissents from the bench. It’s a reminder that even when we aren’t winning, we’re still a powerful force to be reckoned with.
Happy listening!
