Last year former Constitutional Court Justice Albie Sachs arranged for me to tour the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York City. The Honourable Robert Katzmann had promised Albie to assign his law clerk to take me around. When I finally visited, I spent a day at the court with the brightest, kindest and most thoughtful guide.
At the end of the tour she walked me out. We had had such a great time together that we took a couple of selfies on the steps of the court. As we parted ways we made plans to meet up later at a fundraiser that Albie and I would be speaking at, in support of Constitution Hill. She came to our fundraiser and had brought a few of her colleagues. I only learnt the day after that Clara Spera, the law clerk who had spent the day with me, was in fact RBG’s granddaughter.
When Albie and I spoke after learning of her death this morning he recalled that the last time he was with Ruth, it was late 2019, when he delivered a gift of a lace collar made by the South African artist, Kim Lieberman. Albie says RBG liked it so much that she said she wouldn’t wear it but would frame it as a piece of art.
