JACKSON LECTURE SERIES

Jackson Lecture

The NJC's Jackson Lecture series is held twice a year during the College's General Jurisdiction course. It is named after Robert Houghwout Jackson who is best remembered for his vigorous decisions and wisdom and for his role as America’s chief prosecutor in the Nuremberg War Trials. The decision to honor Justice Jackson with this lecture series was made by his friend and Supreme Court colleague, Justice Tom C. Clark, one of NJC’s founders. It features world-renowned speakers and lecturers such as Mayor Dennis W. Archer of Detroit, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, Bruce R. James, the Public Printer of the United States, Hon. Christine M. Durham of the Utah Supreme Court, and many others.
