US Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg to speak in Rhode Island

January 27, 2018 09:34 AM

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is set to speak to a group of law students in Rhode Island.

Ginsburg's talk Tuesday at Roger Williams University's law school is billed as a "fireside chat" with 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Senior Judge Bruce M. Selya.

Selya has said he hopes to give Ginsburg the opportunity to discuss how she goes about her job, reflect on her life experience and "expound on matters that will be of interest to law students and law faculty."

The talk will only be open to students, faculty and staff due to space limitations, although media are allowed.
