After selling out in less than 45 minutes (proving she really is a rock star!) and switching venues (which still left a waiting list of several thousand long), tonight is the night that the Honorable Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court makes her appearance here.

In July, the Clinton Foundation and Clinton School of Public Service announced the next Frank and Kula Kumpuris Distinguished Lecture would feature Justice Ginsburg. She will be introduced by the man who nominated her to the Supreme Court, President Bill Clinton.

Though the event is sold out, it will be available to watch via live stream.
