Ginsburg's conflict
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg retains close ties with a feminist advocacy group that often makes arguments before the high court, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Mrs. Ginsburg has lent her name and presence to a lecture series co-sponsored by the NOW Legal Defense and Education Fund, an advocacy group that often argues before the high court in support of women's rights that the justice champions, the newspaper said.
She gave opening remarks for the fourth installment of the Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Distinguished Lecture Series on Women and the Law. Two weeks earlier, she had voted in a medical screening case, taking the side promoted by the legal defense fund in its friend-of-the-court brief.
Mrs. Ginsburg was a member of the board of the legal defense fund for a brief time in the 1970s.
