“That four great nations, flushed with victory and stung with injury stay the hand of vengeance and voluntarily submit their captive enemies to the judgment of the law is one of the most significant tributes that Power has ever paid to Reason.” — from Jackson's Opening Statement before the International Military Tribunal

Law Day 2002

For Law Day 2002, the Committee arranged for four hundred local high school students to attend an event at the Center where former Nuremberg Prosecutor, Henry King; and St. John's Law Professor, John Q. Barrett made presentations on Jackson's contributions to International Criminal Law. The event also included video reproduction of some World War II events and excerpts from the Nuremberg Trials. Additionally, Ray D'Addario, official Army photographer at the trials, attended the Law Day event and described a photo exhibit of pictures that he took at Nuremberg in 1945 and 1946.

The Education Committee submitted suggested lesson plans prior to the Law Day event to teachers who were bringing students to the Center. Thus, students, when they arrived, were more prepared to participate in the event and ask relevant questions to those making the presentations.
