MOVIE: On the Basis of Sex


    On the Basis of Sex is based on the life story of US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Despite graduating at the top of her class, Ginsburg had a hard time in finding employment because none of the law firms she applied to wants to hire a woman. 

    This movie is a great movie for young female law students. The movie features the case of Moritz v. Commissioner, 469 F.2d 466 (1972), a case which held that discrimination on the basis of sex constitutes a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution.
