Q: Do you have a sense of what that would be like to actually work on and how it would be different? | JUSTICE GINSBURG: The work would not be any easier. Some of the amenities might improve. | Q: Do you think that some of the discrimination cases might turn out differently? | JUSTICE GINSBURG: I think for the most part, yes. I would suspect that, because the women will relate to their own experiences. | Q: That’s one area in which outcomes might actually differ? | JUSTICE GINSBURG: Yes. I think the presence of women on the bench made it possible for the courts to appreciate earlier than they might otherwise that sexual harassment belongs under Title VII [as a violation of civil rights law].
