Ginsburg served as an Associate Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court from 1993 to 2020.

She was considered a liberal-leaning justice.

• She previously served as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit from 1980 to 1993.

• Despite sharp ideological differences, Ginsburg had a very close relationship with fellow Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. In one famous instance, Scalia offered Ginsburg an advanced look at his opposing dissent to her majority decision in the landmark United States v. Virginia, in order to help her improve her majority opinion.
