Donation of one of Judge's robe collar to Israel Museum (NPR.org)

 from NPR news highlights (www.npr.org)







Months before she died, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg 

received a letter from the chair of the board of a Jewish museum in Tel Aviv: 

Would she donate an artifact for the museum exemplifying her contribution 

to the field of justice and world civilization?

Two weeks later, on Jan. 27, Ginsburg replied on Supreme Court stationery: 

"I would be glad to contribute to the Museum of the Jewish People in Tel Aviv 

one of the collars I wear with my robe at oral arguments. Would that be satisfactory?"
