Join us for an open and thought-provoking Community Conversation at the Robert H. Jackson Center September 24, 5:00 p.m.
In an era where headlines scream of weaponized justice or slow-moving investigations, we're diving deep into the important role of federal prosecutors and how we perceive their actions. This conversation will be grounded in Robert H. Jackson's speech "The Federal Prosecutor," and we look forward to your thoughts and opinions on how it's being lived today.
To get the most out of this conversation, we recommend you review the text of the speech, "The Federal Prosecutor" found here on our website, ahead of the event. (Copies also will be available at the event itself.)
This conversation will be led by Joe Murphy, Director of Grant-Making at Humanities New York (HNY), and is part of the Humanities Discussion series, “A New Agora for New York: Museums as Spaces for Democracy,” organized by the Museum Association of New York.
Community Conversation allows New Yorkers to join in discussions that provide the chance to take part in a shared community dialogue.

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.
