The late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was remembered Friday during ceremonies at the high court, the Associated Press reports. Speaking at the event, Chief Justice John Roberts called Ginsburg a “woman of conviction, courage and quiet compassion,” while Attorney General Merrick Garland called her the “chief tactician in the campaign for equal rights for women.” A number of Ginsburg’s law clerks, including Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, also spoke. All nine of the court’s current members attended the ceremony as did former justices Anthony Kennedy and Stephen Breyer. In related news, the National Judicial College recently held its annual Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg lecture as a free virtual event on what would have been the justice’s 90th birthday.
