Judicial Nominations of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer - Collection Finding Aid

This collection consists of material dealing with President Clinton’s nomination of Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 1993 and Stephen Gerald Breyer in 1994 to the United States Supreme Court. The nuts and bolts of the nomination process can be seen in correspondence, memoranda, reports, lists, notes, and papers that highlight the contributions of the Counsel’s Office to the easy manner in which the two nominees breezed through confirmation proceedings in the Senate. The writings of the two justices in the form of scholarly articles, speeches, interviews, decisions, and opinions are documented in extensive detail. A sizable portion of the records is devoted to Breyer’s investment in Lloyd’s of London—much of which has been closed for reasons of privacy.
