| The Robert H Jackson Center honors and promotes the legacy of the man who was US Solicitor General, US Attorney General, US Supreme Court Justice, and Chief US Prosecutor of the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg (after World War II) |
The Center envisions a global society where the universal principles of equality, fairness, and justice prevail. (At this time, that goal seems unattainable...)
 |
| The Center sends a copy of the biography of Jackson to each new Supreme Court Justice asking that person to sign the book; many of the justices return the book with a note about how Jackson was an inspiration |
