Rutgers Law School received $6.5 million from the Stephanie and Harold Krieger Charitable Trust, one of the largest gifts in its history, to help establish the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Women’s Rights and Gender Justice Clinic.

Rutgers Law School Dean Johanna Bond announced the gift on Monday at a formal unveiling of the U.S. Postal Service’s Ruth Bader Ginsburg stamp. The celebration took place at Ruth Bader Ginsburg Hall on Rutgers-Newark’s campus.
