Ninth Circuit Notes with Sorrow the Passing of Justice Ginsburg
- “The Ninth Circuit joins the nation in mourning the loss of Justice Ginsburg. She was very close to a number of judges on our Court, and her legal legacy will endure for generations,” said Chief Judge Sidney R. Thomas.
Three judges from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge M. Margaret McKeown, Judge Paul J. Watford and Judge John B. Owens all knew Justice Ginsburg personally and professionally. Judges Watford and Owens both clerked for Justice Ginsburg in the mid-1990s, and Judge McKeown became acquainted with Justice Ginsburg first in law school and, later, professionally, and formed a firm friendship with her that lasted until Justice Ginsburg’s passing.
