On June 11, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg introduced Judge Ann Claire Williams (Ret.), now of counsel in Jones Day's Chicago Office, as "a world celebrated jurist and my treasured friend," at the annual Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Distinguished Lecture on Women and the Law, hosted by the New York City Bar Association. This annual event, created in 2000, honors Justice Ginsburg's contributions to the advancement of women's rights and her achievements as a lawyer, law professor, and judge.
