Peer Review edit
Your sources look good and the writing is neutral, so good job with that! In terms of suggestions, you might want to add a section at the top explaining who Ginsburg is; why is she important? What does she focus on in her research? What is she best know for? If Ginsburg has been the recipient of various awards, you could make a separate section for that information. I suggest making sections for her career and education, as well. I think, also, that if you make an overarching section for Ginsburg's published works, and underneath that have subsections for books, articles, etc., it could help to add some organization to the article. As far as logistics go, I'm pretty sure the citation goes immediately after the period, not before it or directly after the information being cited. This article definitely has potential, and I can't wait to see what you do with it. I hope this review is helpful to you. Good luck! Mpraml (talk) 01:56, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
Hi, Sirias:
First of all, great job thus far! I appreciate you including Faye Ginsburg's awards and her education. Very well done with writing in an unbiased voice!
A few recommendations: perhaps consider using a few more resources. I know you're going to add more information in the future, but part of Wikipedia's 5 pillars is including many different sources for an unbiased article. I would also recommend that you consider adding some in-depth information on her academic (and perhaps personal) life and accomplishments.
Thanks!

Assigning articles edit
This question explains how to assign yourself an article to review How do students assign articles to themselves?. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:55, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
Merge for your article edit
I noticed that Faye D. Ginsburg and Faye Ginsburg appear to be the exact same people. These articles should be merged, I believe the latter into the former. I'll open a Request for comment on this unless we unilaterally agree on this. Thanks, L3X1 (distant write) 02:31, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
Indeed, Faye D. Ginsburg and Faye Ginsburg are the same person. I do not think that will be necessary. Do I still have to merge my article on Faye Ginsburg?
