Please join us for an event celebrating “Fashioning Justice: Ruth Bader Ginsburg '54 and the Power of Presence.” Curated by the Cornell Fashion + Textile Collection, the exhibition explores Justice Ginsburg’s legacy by situating her iconic judicial collars and personal objects within broader histories of law, policy, work, and society and is on view from March 16 to May 1.

The event features remarks from Justice Ginsburg’s granddaughter, Clara Spera, and a screening of the 15-minute short film Making the Case: A Supreme Court Justice and Her Bags with filmmaker Jennifer Callahan.

This program is a collaboration between the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the College of Human Ecology and is made possible through the generosity of Jeff '79 and Christie Weiss, P '11 and '14.
