In Defense of Justice: The Greatest Dissents of Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Edited and Annotated for the Non-Lawyer

This book features Ginsburg’s best-known dissents in a format accessible to the non-lawyer, giving RBG’s worldwide fans an approach to their hero’s life’s work. Each dissent is prefaced with an explanation of the case to help prepare the lay reader for approaching difficult legal prose.
Ginsburg is renowned for her feisty and fearless dissents, which are her arguments in opposition to the Court's majority opinion. Through this book, the reader will read Justice Ginsburg at the zenith of her passion as she fights to persuade the public and future generations of the Court's error. Through this book, we hope fans of Justice Ginsburg—especially the young—will gain better insight into the impact a single voice can have in the halls of our country’s most powerful institutions.
From the introduction:
Why does the practice of dissenting exist? Do dissents matter? Do they ever have lasting impact? Why do judges write dissents? Why, even, do judges write at all? Does the written opinion, and especially the written dissent, impart special impact to the words of the court or judge issuing it? And what do the answers to these questions tell us about Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s role and legacy both as a justice and as the Court’s most famous dissenter?
