Ruth Bader Ginsburg's last book is a curation of her own legacy,
tracing the long history of her work for gender equality and a
"more perfect Union." In the fall of 2019, Justice Ruth Bader
Ginsburg visited the University of California, Berkeley School of
Law to deliver the first annual Herma Hill Kay Memorial Lecture in
honor of her friend, the late Herma Hill Kay, with whom Ginsburg
had coauthored the very first casebook on sex-based discrimination
in 1974. Justice, Justice Thou Shalt Pursue is the result of a
period of collaboration between Ginsburg and Amanda L. Tyler, a
Berkeley Law professor and former Ginsburg law clerk. During
Justice Ginsburg's visit to Berkeley, she told her life story in
conversation with Tyler. In this collection, the two bring together
that conversation and other materials-many previously
unpublished-that share details from Justice Ginsburg's family life
and long career. These include notable briefs and oral arguments,
some of Ginsburg's last speeches, and her favorite opinions that
she wrote as a Supreme Court Justice (many in dissent), along with
the statements that she read from the bench in those important
cases. Each document was chosen by Ginsburg and Tyler to tell the
story of the litigation strategy and optimistic vision that were at
the heart of Ginsburg's unwavering commitment to the achievement of
"a more perfect Union." In a decades-long career, Ruth Bader
Ginsburg was an advocate and jurist for gender equality and for
ensuring that the United States Constitution leaves no person
behind. Her work transformed not just the American legal landscape,
but American society more generally. Ginsburg labored tirelessly to
promote a Constitution that is ever more inclusive and that allows
every individual to achieve their full human potential. As revealed
in these pages, in the area of gender rights, Ginsburg dismantled
long-entrenched systems of discrimination based on outdated
stereotypes by showing how such laws hold back both genders. And as
also shown in the materials brought together here, Justice Ginsburg
had a special ability to appreciate how the decisions of the high
court impact the lived experiences of everyday Americans. The
passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in September 2020 as this
book was heading into production was met with a public outpouring
of grief. With her death, the country lost a hero and national
treasure whose incredible life and legacy made the United States a
more just society and one in which "We the People," for whom the
Constitution is written, includes everyone.
