Redigerer Ruth Bader Ginsburg (avsnitt)

==Karriere==
Fra 1961 forsket Ginsburg ved [[Columbia University|Columbia Law School]] Project on International Procedure og arbeidet fra 1962 i [[Lund (by)|Lund]] sammen med [[Anders Bruzelius]] for å beskrive svensk [[sivilrett]]slig prosessordning for et amerikansk publikum. Dette resulterte i boken ''Civil Procedure in Sweden'' i 1965. Hun lærte seg svensk under arbeidet. Hun og Anders Bruzelius ble i 1969 [[æresdoktor]]er ved [[Lunds universitet]] for dette arbeidet.

I 1963 fikk hun et professorat ved [[Rutgers University]] i [[New Jersey]]. I 1970 vekslet hun over til  Columbia University Law School igjen.

På 1970-tallet var hun [[prosessfullmektig]] i en rekke saker som omhandlet diskriminering og likestillingsspørsmål, samt direktør for den ikke-statlige borgerrettighetsorganisasjonen [[American Civil Liberties Union]]s prosjekt for kvinners rettigheter («Women’s Rights Project»).<ref name=":1">{{Kilde avis|tittel=Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Supreme Court’s Feminist Icon, Is Dead at 87|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/18/us/ruth-bader-ginsburg-dead.html|avis=The New York Times|dato=2020-09-18|besøksdato=2020-09-19|issn=0362-4331|språk=en-US|fornavn=Linda|etternavn=Greenhouse|side=|sitat=Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the second woman to serve on the Supreme Court and a pioneering advocate for women’s rights, who in her ninth decade became a much younger generation’s unlikely cultural icon, died at her home in Washington on Friday.

I 1980 ble Bader Ginsburg utnevnt av president [[Jimmy Carter]] til dommer ved appelldomstolen for [[District of Columbia]] (''U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit'').

Hun ble utnevnt av president [[Bill Clinton]] til Høyesterett i 1993 og ble regnet blant Høyesteretts liberale fløy.<ref name=":0">{{Kilde avis|tittel=Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Liberal America panics when she falls ill|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-46145777| dato=2018-12-21| besøksdato=2019-08-23| språk=en-GB| fornavn=Jessica| etternavn=Lussenhop| sitat=Over the decades, as the court has become more conservative, Justice Ginsburg has increasingly moved to the left, and is now famous for her fiery dissents.}}</ref> Hun var den andre kvinnen i historien som ble nominert til embetet som dommer i USAs høyesterett.<ref name=":0" /> I 2002 ble hun innvotert i [[National Women's Hall of Fame]].<ref>{{Kilde www|url=https://www.womenofthehall.org/inductee/ruth-bader-ginsburg/|tittel=Ginsburg, Ruth Bader|besøksdato=2020-09-19|språk=en-US|verk=National Women’s Hall of Fame}}</ref>

Gjennom sine voteringer i Høyesterett markerte Ginsburg seg som en forkjemper for likestilling og kvinners rettigheter. I spørsmålet om abort inngikk hun i 2000 i dommerflertallet som førte til opphevelse av delstaten [[Nebraska]]s lovgivning mot «partial birth abortion» (''Stenberg v. Carhart''), og i 2007 var hun i det mindretall som var uenig i Høyesteretts opprettholdelse av visse restriksjoner mot visse former for «partial birth abortion» (''Gonzales v. Carhart'').

Særlig i det siste tiåret av sin karriere fikk hun en stor tilhengerskare blant mange unge amerikanere, som så på henne som et forbilde.<ref name=":12">{{Kilde avis|tittel=Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Supreme Court’s Feminist Icon, Is Dead at 87|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/18/us/ruth-bader-ginsburg-dead.html|avis=The New York Times|dato=2020-09-18|besøksdato=2020-09-19|issn=0362-4331|språk=en-US|fornavn=Linda|etternavn=Greenhouse|side=|sitat=Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the second woman to serve on the Supreme Court and a pioneering advocate for women’s rights, who in her ninth decade became a much younger generation’s unlikely cultural icon, died at her home in Washington on Friday.
