handle is hein.journals/ucollr84 and id is 975 raw text is: A CONVERSATION WITH ASSOCIATE JUSTICE RUTH BADER GINSBURG JUSTICE RUTH BADER GINSBURG* Annual Stevens Lecture University of Colorado Law School September 19, 2012 Melissa Hart: Thank you all so much for being with us tonight. My name is Melissa Hart, and I am the director of the Byron R. White Center for the Study of American Constitutional Law at Colorado Law School. We started the Stevens Lecture last year as an opportunity to bring a distinguished member of the judiciary to Colorado to give a public talk about judging and the state of the judiciary. We're honored this year to have Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as our second speaker in the series. Before I turn things over to Justice Ginsburg and to Dean Phil Weiser, I have a couple of things I want to say about the White Center. One of the big focuses of the White Center in the past couple of years has been to really move the conversation about the Constitution outside of the academy and more into the public. We've been doing that through a series of programs, and on the back of your programs here today, you'll see a list of some of the events we have coming up this fall. I'd love to see you at those events. I also want to specifically mention that this week is the week of Constitution Day. Constitution Day is September 17tb. We started it last year as a project that sends law students into high schools to teach a constitutional lesson plan during the week of Constitution Day. This year it expanded to include not only law students, but also local attorneys, both alumni and others who volunteer through the Colorado Bar Association, and several faculty members, who chose to volunteer this year. We have eighty students, about thirty lawyers, and several faculty members. And we have been * Associate Justice, United States Supreme Court. Justice Ginsburg gave this address for the Annual John Paul Stevens Lecture, which brings an outstanding jurist to address the University of Colorado Law School on important judicial issues. Justice Ginsburg gave this address on September 19, 2012.
