Students in Hamilton's Program in Washington met with Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg at the end of their semester in the nation's capitol. Ginsberg described the Court's internal relationship and answered questions from the students. One student asked how the court's decision in the last presidential election affected the Democratic process. Justice Ginsberg said she strongly disagreed with the Court's majority, though she doubted it would ever be used as a precedent.
The Term in Washington program was established in 1969. The program requires participants to put in 30-40 hours a week on an internship while participating in two weekly seminars. For the first half of the program, students typically work in a Congressional office. The second half consists of eight weeks at a government agency or non-government organization.
