Some of you may know that Marc’s brother, Scott, served as a law clerk to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 2006–2007. Scott is in Washington to participate in the funeral ceremonies of the next few days. Her former clerks take shifts standing vigil with the Justice like an honor guard for the next several days. Most of Justice Ginsburg’s 159 former clerks will be at the Supreme Court for the arrival ceremony at 9:30 in the morning, and then her clerks will take shifts standing vigil until the private interment service will be held at Arlington National Cemetery.
RBG—the Notorious RBG—is one of the giants of American history. She earned a place in U.S. history well before she took a seat on the Supreme Court. The cases that secured equal rights for women were all cases that RBG spearheaded and argued and won at the Supreme Court as a lawyer decades before she became a Justice.
Scott recently posted a story on Twitter that shows a side of RBG that's more personal than most of the tributes you’ve read or will be reading over the next several days. It shows a lighthearted part of Justice Ginsburg that didn’t often get seen in public. It’s a touching story. We hope you enjoy it.

L'shana Tova to everyone celebrating Rosh Hashanah. May you be inscribed in the Book of Life and have a good and sweet new year.
Happy Father’s Day to our fathers and all the other fathers out there.
In 1897, 8-year-old Virginia O’Hanlon wrote to The New York Sun asking “is there a Santa Claus.” The paper’s response, written by editor Francis Pharcellus Church, became an instant classic. Every year, newspapers around the country republish Virginia’s letter and Church’s response.
As newspapers have their Christmas tradition of publishing “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus,” we have our own tradition, but for Mother’s Day. Every year, we republish “The Mom Test,” our best advice about contracts.
And happy Mother’s Day to our moms and all the the other moms out there.
