LITTLE ROCK-Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will visit Little Rock later this year as part of a lecture series put on by the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton School of Public Service.

Ginsburg became the second female justice of the U.S. Supreme Court in 1993 after then-President Bill Clinton nominated her to the post. She's to speak Sept. 3 on the campus of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

The Little Rock event is open to the public.
