We envision a global society where the universal principles of equality, fairness, and justice prevail.
For over twenty years, we have honored and promoted the legacy of Robert H. Jackson, U.S. Solicitor General, U.S. Attorney General, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, and Chief U.S. Prosecutor of the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg.
The Jackson Center advances the legacy of Justice Robert H. Jackson through education, using a variety of methods including in-person and virtual programs and presentations, exhibits, available media, and scholarship. We demonstrate the contemporary relevance and applicability of Justice Jackson’s ideas and work to current and future generations.
Your gift enables us to envision a global society where the universal principles of equality, fairness, and justice prevail.
Our 2023 programming theme is The Supreme Court: Final? Infallible? Future? We will be convening conversation on the decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court, how they inform our perspectives on and understanding of the law and our judicial system, the role of external forces, such as public opinion, and whether and what reforms should be considered.
Check out our podcast, Liberty Under Law New Episodes Tuesdays, 8pm ET.
