AMHERST — U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will speak at Amherst College on Thursday, Oct. 3, and review recent court decisions with students.

Ginsburg will take part in a “fireside chat” with Amherst College President Carolyn Martin at Johnson Chapel at 5 p.m.

She has also offered to meet with students in Cole Assembly Room in Converse Hall at 3:30 p.m. for a review of cases from the Supreme Court’s last term, said Martin in an online letter on Thursday to students and faculty.

“Her unwavering dedication to righting that imbalance over the course of her lengthy and principled career as a jurist has made Ginsburg not only a pioneer for gender equality but an inspiration to all who seek to address systematic injustice,” Martin wrote.

The appearance will be a ticketed event open to Amherst College community members. Questions from the audience will be invited. Tickets can be reserved on the event webpage at no cost on a first-come, first-served basis beginning Thursday, Sept. 19, at 8 a.m.

Her Oct. 3 talk will be live-streamed on the Amherst College webpage (Amherst College login required) and to Stirn auditorium, where ticketed overflow seating will be available.

It will be Ginsburg’s second visit to Amherst College.

In 1991, two years prior to her appointment to the Supreme Court, then Amherst College President Peter Pouncey awarded Ginsburg an honorary degree, citing her “lifelong insistence that inequality for some unbalances a society and makes it precarious for all.”

At 86, Ginsburg is the oldest justice on the Supreme Court.

Last month, the Supreme Court revealed Ginsburg had undergone three weeks of radiation treatment for a malignant tumor on her pancreas, saying that she “tolerated treatment well.”

Her career was chronicled in the documentary “RBG," which premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.

The motion picture “On the Basis of Sex,” released last year and starring Felicity Jones, focused on Ginsburg’s early career struggles fighting for equal rights.
