Although Ruth Bader Ginsburg's husband Martin died in 2010, their two children, Jane and James, are alive and accomplished in their fields.
On Friday, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died at age 87, leaving behind two children: her 65-year-old daughter Jane C. Ginsburg and her 55-year-old son James Steven Ginsburg.
Martin used to joke that she was a"top student" and he was a"top golfer" as a star member on the university's golf team, according to NPR. They married in 1954, a year after Ruth graduated from Cornell. She was 21.While both had been accepted into Harvard University law school for their postgraduate studies, Martin was called into active duty as part of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps in the Army Reserve.
After graduating, he began working for the international law firm Weil, Gotshal & Manges in New York City, but he spent the majority of his professional career teaching.He began teaching as adjunct faculty at New York University Law School from 1967 to 1979. From 1977 until 1993, he served as a visiting professor for a year each at Stanford Law School, Harvard Law School and the University of Chicago Law School. During this time, Ruth gave birth to their second child, James.
When Ruth was under consideration for the U.S. Supreme Court during the first term of Democratic President Bill Clinton, Martin solicited congresspeople and legal scholars to send Clinton letters of support on her behalf. Clinton said that letters didn't ultimately influence his decision, but merely showed him that"a lot of people felt a lot for her."
