UW professor recalls rich experiences as Justice Ginsburg's law clerk
With the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, one of her former law clerks is sharing the profound impact the civil rights champion had on her own life and career.
Elizabeth Porter, an associate professor of law at UW, worked under Ginsburg starting in 2002. Porter said she was immediately impressed by Ginsburg’s sophisticated approach to the cases that came before her.
“I feel like we couldn't really hope for much better of a life than the life that she designed and lived," Porter said.
Landmark opinions were forged at that time as Ginsburg tackled same sex rights and affirmative action cases. Porter said the experience would shape her own understanding of life, the law and the fight for equality that continues to this day.
