Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

First edition of this collection of powerful essays. Octavo, original pictorial wrappers. Association copy, inscribed by Judge Myron H. Bright on the title page to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, "For Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a protector of civil rights for all. From her friend, Judge Myron H. Bright." In 2004, Judge Bright accompanied U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her husband Martin Ginsburg as Juris in Residence. American lawyer and jurist, Ruth Bader Ginsburg served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in 2020 and was responsible for some of the most eventful legal decisions of the past half-century. Nominated by President Bill Clinton in 1993 to replace retiring justice Byron White, Ginsburg became the first Jewish woman and the second woman to serve on the Court, after Sandra Day OâConnor. Ginsburg spent much of her legal career as an advocate for gender equality and womenâs rights, winning many arguments before the Supreme Court. During her tenure as associate justice of the Supreme Court, Ginsburg received attention for her fiery and passionate dissents that reflected liberal views of the law. She was popularly dubbed âthe Notorious R.B.G.â, a moniker she later embraced. She authored several important majority opinions related to gender discrimination, voting rights, and affirmative action in cases such as United States v. Virginia (1996) which struck down the Virginia Military Instituteâs male-only admissions policy as violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, Olmstead v. L.C. (1999) in which the Court ruled that mental illness is a form of disability covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and Friends of the Earth, Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services, Inc. (2000) in which the Court held that residents have standing to seek fines for an industrial polluter that affected their interests and that is able to continue doing so. In near fine condition. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box by the Harcourt Bindery. In The Beginning and End of Rape: Confronting Sexual Violence in Native America, Sarah Deer examines the historical and legal factors that contribute to the high rates of sexual violence against Indigenous women. Drawing on legal scholarship, activism, and Indigenous feminist perspectives, Deer critiques the failures of the U.S. legal system to protect Native survivors, particularly due to jurisdictional barriers imposed by federal law. She argues that colonialism and systemic erasure have perpetuated violence, advocating for tribal sovereignty as a means of addressing these injustices. Through a combination of legal analysis and survivor-centered approaches, Deer calls for structural reforms that empower Indigenous communities to combat sexual violence and reclaim justice on their own terms.…
