Brooklyn Law School creates Ruth Bader Ginsburg Chair, honoring late Supreme Court justice
Brooklyn Law School has announced the creation of the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Chair to honor the life and legacy of the Supreme Court justice, who died Sept. 18.
Professor Susan N. Herman, president of the American Civil Liberties Union, will be the inaugural Ruth Bader Ginsburg Professor of Law. The new faculty chair was announced by Michael T. Cahill, president, Joseph Crea Dean, and professor of law at Brooklyn Law School, Sept. 20, at a remembrance event at Brooklyn Borough Hall.
“I am thrilled to be named the first occupant of the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Chair at Brooklyn Law School,” said Herman. “RBG has been an inspiration and role model to me, another girl born in Brooklyn who followed her in the ACLU and in law teaching. She taught the world that no path should be closed to anyone on the basis of sex and so many other lessons in law and equality I hope to carry on.”
