“Justice Ginsburg, whose most recent visit as our jurist-in-residence in 2017 was a particularly memorable week, has had an extraordinary career as a judge as well as a lawyer and scholar,” said Dean . “The film explores the career of this remarkable woman and gets to the heart of how she did so much to change the world.”
A special moment in the award-winning documentary highlights a UH connection, as Ginsburg admires a special jabot (judicial collar) given to her by the law school. The jabot includes rare Niʻihau shells in pale pink and yellow.
