A ROLE MODEL

Ginsburg has been on the Supreme Court for decades. She is known for having an opinion different from many of the other judges. When justices disagree with the majority of the court, it is called a dissent. Ginsburg has dissented on many cases. She makes her opinion known in careful statements that explain her point of view. The dissents help to show how she interprets the law. They also help form public opinion about important issues.
