Students will have a second chance Friday to apply for tickets to see U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg speak during her first-ever visit to Notre Dame.
The main event, “A Conversation with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg,” will be held in Purcell Pavilion on Monday from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and is free but ticketed.
Due to a high number of sales after the event was initially announced Aug. 30, ticket reservations were temporarily suspended. Tickets sales reopened Friday morning for members of the student body and are available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on a first-come, first-serve basis.
On the day of the event, doors open at 4:30 p.m. Monday, and students are encouraged to arrive by 5 p.m. to pass through security checkpoints. Attendees should enter through the south side of the Joyce Center.
Photography, videography, weapons, backpacks, purses and large bags will be prohibited from the event, according to the email.
Ginsburg has served on the U.S. Supreme Court since her appointment by President Bill Clinton on Aug. 10, 1993. Prior to assuming her seat on the Supreme Court, Ginsburg served as general counsel to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) from 1973 to 1980 and subsequently served on the organization’s national board of directors from 1974 to 1980.
Ann Williams, a U.S. Circuit Judge and 1975 law school alumna, will serve as moderator for the conversation. Williams was appointed to the Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit in 1999. She currently serves on the University’s Board of Trustees.
The event is sponsored by the Office of the President, Notre Dame Law School and Notre Dame Student Government. Tickets are available online and more information can be found at nd.edu/Ginsburg.
