Ruth Bader Ginsburg believed that leaders have an obligation to improve their writing skills.
Choosing the right words in the right order “could make an enormous difference in conveying an image or an idea,” Ginsburg recalled.
During the 27 years that Ginsburg served as a Supreme Court Justice, she continued to work “very hard” on persuasive writing. “For the dissent that she read from the bench, she rewrote her opinion in colloquial terms,” writes Toobin.“In our view, the court does not comprehend or is indifferent to the insidious way in which women can be victims of pay discriminations,” she began.Ginsburg’s argument didn’t win the day, but her voice was loud and clear. In January, 2009, Congress passed and President Barack Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act.
“My eye is on the reader…I try to be as clear and concise as I can be. If my opinion runs more than 20 pages, I’m disturbed that I can’t do it shorter.”
