Week 1
Lesson 1
Introduction to Ruth Bader Ginsburg
The first class will introduce learners to RBG, and present the arguments and legal reasoning that led Ruth to win her first case of gender based discrimination at the federal appellate level, Moritz v. U.S.
 Week 2
Lesson 2
First Arguments
The second class will focus on Reid v. Reid and Durren v. Missouri, where Mrs. Ginsburg wrote legal briefs and argued in front of the Supreme Court to apply the equal protection clause to gender. 
 Week 3
Lesson 3
Understanding RBG's Legal Strategy
In the third class, learners will understand the legal strategy RBG employed during her advocacy days to not advocate simply on behalf of women, but to show that gender discrimination harms all of society - men and women alike. Frontiero v. Richardson and Craig v. Boren will be studied to illustrate this point. 
 Week 4
Lesson 4
Becoming a Supreme Court Justice
During the fourth class, we will turn to Justice Ginsburg and her time on the Supreme Court bench. Learners will study U.S. v. Virginia where Ginsberg penned the majority Supreme Court decision confirming gender equality as a Constitutional right.
 Week 5
Lesson 5
Dissent
The final case to be studied in this course will be in the fifth week. Learners will understand Ledbetter v. Goodyear, a case based on equal pay and gender discrimination, in which Justice Ginsburg wrote a dissenting opinion, which provided the context of a Congressional change in legislation. 
 Week 6
Lesson 6
Her Supporters
In the sixth and final week, the class will turn to focus on the lawyers who served as role models and support for Ruth, such as Dorothy Kenyon, Pauli Murray, Melvin Wolf and Marty Ginsburg, in order to help learners understand that change and opportunity grows and builds with support from past and present.
