A Unique Portrait: Jeffrey Rosen and Dahlia Lithwick on Ruth Bader Ginsburg


Conversations with RBG


Join the Jew­ish Book Coun­cil and its JBC Net­work part­ners for a very spe­cial con­ver­sa­tion with Jef­frey Rosen and Dahlia Lith­wick about Rosen’s new book, Con­ver­sa­tions with RBG: Ruth Bad­er Gins­burg on Life, Love, Lib­er­ty, and Law.
In Con­ver­sa­tions with RBG, Rosen, pres­i­dent and CEO of the Nation­al Con­sti­tu­tion Cen­ter, a law pro­fes­sor at GW, and a con­tribut­ing edi­tor at The Atlantic, presents a unique por­trait of Jus­tice Ruth Bad­er Gins­burg, draw­ing on twen­ty years of con­ver­sa­tions start­ing in the 1990s and con­tin­u­ing through the Trump Era. In the book, they dis­cuss the future of Roe v. Wade, her favorite dis­sents, the cas­es she would most like to see over­ruled, the #MeToo move­ment, how to be a good lis­ten­er, how to lead a pro­duc­tive and com­pas­sion­ate life, and the future of the Supreme Court itself.


Dahlia Lith­wick is a senior edi­tor at Slate. She is host of Ami­cusSlate​’s award-win­n­ing biweek­ly pod­cast about the law and the Supreme Court. Learn more about both speak­ers below.
