Shortly after graduation from Cornell she married her husband, Martin Ginsburg. They had two children and four grandchildren.
Although raised Jewish, she is no longer observant.
She broke from tradition upon her selection to the Supreme Court, by eschewing the traditional american judicial robe for a French ''robe d'avocat'' (Justice O'Connor would later follow suit), and later wearing an assortment of fancy neckwear. She is known for her unusual collection of jabots (a decorative clothing item, often worn by female judges in other countries). She has particular ones she wears: crocheted yellow and cream with crystals (a gift from her law clerks) when issuing a majority opinion, and black with gold embroidery and faceted stones when issuing a dissenting opinion.
