*By Daily Press staff*

United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will deliver the keynote address at Pepperdine University’s School of Law annual dinner on Saturday, Feb. 9.

The event takes place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, beginning with a reception at 6:15 p.m. followed by dinner at 7:30 p.m. Justice Ginsburg served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit before being appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1993.

A graduate of Columbia Law School, Justice Ginsburg was a professor at her alma mater, and before that, at Rutgers University School of Law in Newark, NJ. As a lawyer and law professor in the 1970s, she worked to achieve recognition of equal stature of men and women.

Justice Ginsburg will be the fourth Supreme Court Justice to speak at the Pepperdine University School of Law Dinner. In 1995, Justice Clarence Thomas delivered the keynote address, as did Byron White in 1990 and Sandra Day O’Connor in 1985.

This year’s annual dinner will award local attorney John J. Quinn with the School’s Legal Hero Award, which recognizes “outstanding service to the community and salutes the integrity and ethics of an individual who has brought honor to our system of jurisprudence.”
