The Robert H. Jackson Center invites the public to its annual Jackson Day in Warren event in honor of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson's birth on February 13, 1892 in Spring Creek, PA.
The keynote speaker for our 2022 Warren Day will be Matthew Steilen, Professor of Law at the University at Buffalo School of Law where he teaches constitutional law and legal history. He holds a J.D. from Stanford Law School and a Ph.D. in Philosophy from Northwestern University.
Professor Steilen will address the relevance of Justice Jackson's U.S. Supreme Court opinion in the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer (1952), or 'Steel Seizure,' case that set the standard for the scope of a U.S. president's authority.
The event will be held in the Main Courtroom at the Warren County Courthouse, 204 4th Avenue, Warren, PA. The program is free, but please consider a charitable donation to support free access to all Jackson Center programs: https://www.roberthjackson.org/donation-campaign/your- gifts-your-future/

Since 2001, the Robert H. Jackson Center has preserved the values embodied in the life and works of Robert H.

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.
