Join us on Wednesday, May 14 at 6:00 pm for an engaging discussion on the foundation and impact of judicial review, featuring legal scholars Matthew Steilen (University at Buffalo) and Anthony Michael Kreis (Georgia State University).
We will explore the landmark case Marbury v. Madison (1803), which established the courts’ authority to declare laws unconstitutional, shaping the balance of power in the U.S. government. The discussion will also highlight Robert H. Jackson’s views on judicial independence and examine how judicial review continues to influence modern legal and political debates.
This is a virtual program, and you will need to register for the Zoom Webinar to attend.
The Robert H. Jackson Center is a non-profit, non-partisan educational organization that is dedicated to presenting accurate and balanced information about complex issues. The opinions expressed by various guest speakers, panelists, and authors do not necessarily reflect the views of the Center, its Board, and supporters.
The Center fulfills its educational mission by welcoming diverse views and by providing a forum to explore a wide range of perspectives on often controversial legal and public policy issues. While we make an effort to ensure the information we provide is accurate and balanced, we welcome your comments, suggestions, or correction of any factual errors.
Since 2001, the Robert H. Jackson Center has preserved the values embodied in the life and works of Robert H. Jackson, who served as U.S. Solicitor General, U.S. Attorney General, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, and Chief U.S. Prosecutor of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg. Through programs, presentations, exhibits, media, internships, and scholarship, the Center seeks to demonstrate to current and future generations the relevance and applicability of Justice Jackson’s ideas and writings. The Center provides educational content on the United States Constitution and Supreme Court, civil rights, the legacy of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg and international human rights, and the rule of law. During his illustrious career, Justice Jackson addressed these subjects, and the Center recognizes his thinking remains relevant today.
