As part of Fordham Law School’s Robert L. Levine
Distinguished Lecture Series, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was
invited to the school to participate in a question and answer session with
students and faculty. Being on the pre-law track at Rose Hill, I was ecstatic
to be able to attend and learn as much as I could from such a distinguished
woman.
Justice Ginsburg answered a wide array of questions, ranging
from her thoughts about the iPhone to the importance of marriage equality. To
me, the highlight of the discussion was Justice Ginsburg’s advice that “anger
is a useless emotion.” The Justice explained that it should not be anger that
fuels our passions, but our desire to affect positive change in frustrating
situations. To me, this advice was very powerful because it is applicable to
people from all backgrounds. Despite Justice Ginsburg’s politically liberal
decisions, her advice to the students in the audience crossed party lines.
Overall, the night was incredibly informative and I feel
honored to have been in the presence of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Her advice
and insight will remain in my thoughts for years to come.
Something that I have come to realize from my time here at Fordham is the wide array wonderful opportunities that are presented to students. Being able to attend such a lecture was an amazing experience that very few people have.
