Robert H. Jackson
Robert H. Jackson was an influential American lawyer and jurist, best known for his role as a U.S. Supreme Court Justice from 1941 to 1954. Before his appointment to the Supreme Court, he served as the U.S. Attorney General and was a key figure in the Nuremberg Trials, where he served as the chief prosecutor against Nazi war criminals. Jackson's seminal speech, 'The Federal Prosecutor,' delivered in 1940, emphasized the critical nature of prosecutorial discretion and the need for independence from political pressures, a principle that continues to resonate in discussions about the legal profession. His legacy endures in legal education and the ongoing debate about the role of prosecutors in the justice system.
