This year, our featured speaker is the Honorable Benes Z. Aldana, President of The National Judicial College. His presentation, entitled Trust the System? Overcoming the Underminers, will address the public's trust and confidence in the U.S. judicial system, what is affecting that trust, and what can be done to address challenges.

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.
