Fireside Chat with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will visit the Roger Williams University School of Law on Jan. 30.

Justice Ginsburg will take part in a “fireside chat” with 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Senior Judge Bruce M. Selya at 10:30 a.m. 

Tickets for seating in the courtroom have already been issued through a lottery by the Office of the RWU Law Dean. Ticket and identification are required to attend the event.

However, livestream viewing locations will be available on both the Bristol campus and the Providence campus.

On the Bristol campus, livestream viewing will be in the:

• RWU Library Mary Tefft White Cultural Center
• College of Arts & Sciences Rooms 157 and 162
• School of Law Rooms 285, 286 and 262

On the Providence campus, livestream viewing will be in:

• Room 429

Justice Ginsburg’s visit will mark the eighth time that a sitting or retired U.S. Supreme Court justice has addressed RWU School of Law students. Justice Anthony M. Kennedy gave the law school’s first commencement address in 1996, and law students have since heard from Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. (2008), Justice Antonin Scalia (2008), Justice Stephen G. Breyer (2011), Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. (2012), Justice Elena Kagan (2013) and retired Justice Sandra Day O’Connor (2013).
