On Monday, August 11, 2025, more than 1,200 people filled the Hall of Philosophy and the grounds around it at Chautauqua Institution for the 21st Annual Robert H. Jackson Lecture on the Supreme Court of the United States.

Civic education is more than memorizing amendments or learning about branches of government; it’s about preparing students to actively participate in their communities, understand their rights and responsibilities, and think critically about the world around them. As the new school year begins, educators have a unique opportunity to spark curiosity, discussion, and meaningful engagement in civics.

Join us for our annual Constitution Day program

From July 8 to 11, the Robert H. Jackson Center welcomed a dynamic group of educators for our 2025 Educator Retreat. It was four powerful days of interdisciplinary learning, critical inquiry, and collaboration grounded in the enduring lessons of the Nuremberg Trials and the atrocities that led to them.
