Abstract
AbstractWhen speaking publicly outside the Court, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who garnered celebrity status due to her fiery dissents in the 2010s, did so to explain and defend the institution. Whereas celebrity is usually associated with personality cults, we argue that she used her podium to emphasize the importance of collegiality and process in the Supreme Court as an institution. By analyzing three cultural texts, the biopic On the Basis of Sex, the documentary RBG, and the autobiographical collection My Own Words, we show how Ginsburg brought popular culture and the Supreme Court into conversation with one another.
