Join the Library Foundation of Los Angeles and the law firm Sidley Austin LLP for a special reception and screening of RBG,  the documentary exploring the life and career of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

The New York Times described the film as “a loving and informative documentary portrait.”

Prior to the screening, Jennifer J. Clark, a partner in Sidley’s Supreme Court and Appellate group, will provide brief remarks about serving as a clerk to Justice Ginsburg.

Critical praise for RBG:

What makes it memorable is its portrait of a woman with an exceptional intellect, to be sure, but also a lifelong capacity for staggering amounts of minutely detailed, unswervingly purposeful work.
– Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal

The movie’s touch is light and its spirit buoyant, but there is no mistaking its seriousness or its passion. Those qualities resonate powerfully in the dissents that may prove to be Justice Ginsburg’s most enduring legacy, and RBG is, above all, a tribute to her voice.
– A. O. Scott, The New York Times

..there is something deeply soothing about RBG, a documentary that, like its subject, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, is eminently sober, well-mannered, highly intelligent, scrupulous and just a teeny-weeny bit reassuringly dull.
Leslie Felperin, The Hollywood Reporter
