SUMMARY:25 Years of Asking Questions: Who Decides What Justice Looks Like?
DESCRIPTION:What responsibilities do prosecutors have beyond simply enforcing the law? \nInspired by Robert H. Jackson’s landmark speech The Federal Prosecutor\, this program explores the immense discretion prosecutors hold—and the ethical choices that shape justice every day. From deciding who to charge and what cases to pursue\, to determining when restraint is more just than punishment\, prosecutors wield extraordinary influence over how justice is experienced by individuals and communities alike. \nThis conversation examines how prosecutorial discretion shapes outcomes\, how bias and accountability affect decision-making\, and why Jackson believed the prosecutor’s role carried not only legal authority\, but profound moral responsibility. \nAbout the Speaker \nJessica H. Kim is the former U.S. Special Prosecutor for the Crime of Aggression. Appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland in 2023\, Jessica was the first American prosecutor since Nuremberg to engage in international efforts to build cases on the crime of aggression. She worked with the International Centre for the Prosecution of the Crime of Aggression Against Ukraine (ICPA)\, a multinational task force of investigators and prosecutors based in The Hague securing crucial evidence and building cases to hold senior political and military leaders accountable for Russian aggression against Ukraine. She also represented the United States in international negotiations to establish the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine under the framework of the Council of Europe. \nJessica previously served as Chief of Staff & Counselor of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Criminal Division\, responsible for the strategic and operational management of hundreds of federal prosecutors and personnel conducting wide-ranging\, complex investigations and enforcement matters. From 2019-2022\, Jessica was the Department of Justice’s Resident Legal Advisor for Bulgaria\, Romania\, and Slovakia\, providing justice sector assistance to build capacity in combatting corruption\, money laundering\, and organized crime. She promoted procedural and legislative reforms to counter foreign malign influence\, build an effective judiciary\, and promote the rule of law in Eastern Europe. Jessica also previously served as an Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) in the Southern District of Ohio\, where she prosecuted a broad range of federal crimes\, including white collar crimes and national security offenses. For her work as an AUSA\, Jessica received the Attorney General’s Award for Outstanding Contributions by a New Employee; she has also received the Assistant Attorney General’s Award for Distinguished Service for advancing accountability and justice for Ukraine\, as well as the U.S. Embassy’s Firewalker Award for her relentless pursuit of rule of law reforms in Eastern Europe. \nJessica currently serves as the Chief Legal Officer of Lisinski Law Firm\, one of the nation’s leading immigration law firms specializing in humanitarian visa strategy and execution. In this role\, she oversees governance\, compliance\, data\, and enterprise risk\, aligning legal strategy with organizational priorities across 15 offices nationwide. Since its founding in 2020\, the firm has helped over 55\,000 individuals pursue pathways to legal status\, driven by its mission to expand access to justice for immigrant communities. \nJessica clerked for the Honorable Edmund A. Sargus\, Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio and the Honorable G. Steven Agee of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.

SUMMARY:25 Years of Asking Questions: Why Do Presidents Push The Limits?
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Robert H. Jackson Center’s 25th Anniversary Lecture Series\, this program explores the powers\, responsibilities\, and limits of the American presidency. No matter which party holds the White House\, the executive branch often tests the boundaries of authority\, and the consequences of overreach can reshape the balance of government. In Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer (1952)\, President Truman attempted to seize control of steel mills during the Korean War\, raising urgent questions about the scope of executive power. Justice Robert H. Jackson’s concurring opinion provided a careful framework for evaluating when presidential actions exceed constitutional limits\, balancing national needs with adherence to the law. \nThis lecture will examine Jackson’s reasoning in detail\, exploring the three-tiered framework he established for assessing executive authority and the enduring impact it has on debates over presidential power. From emergency actions to everyday decisions\, Jackson’s insights continue to guide legal scholars\, policymakers\, and the public in understanding the delicate balance between effective leadership and constitutional restraint. Attendees will leave with a deeper appreciation for the ways in which Jackson’s thought shapes modern governance and the protections that uphold democratic principles in times of crisis. \nAbout the SpeakerGerard N. Magliocca is a Distinguished Professor and the Lawrence A. Jegen III Professor at the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law. He is the author of five books on constitutional law\, including his new book The Actual Art of Governing: Justice Robert H. Jackson’s Concurring Opinion in the Steel Seizure Case\, which offers a deep analysis of Jackson’s landmark concurring opinion and its continuing relevance to presidential power today. His biography of Justice Bushrod Washington won the Erwin N. Griswold Prize from the Supreme Court Historical Society. \nProfessor Magliocca earned his undergraduate degree from Stanford and his law degree from Yale. He joined the Indiana University faculty in 2001 after two years as an attorney and one year clerking for Judge Guido Calabresi on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. He has held the Fulbright-Dow Distinguished Research Chair at the Roosevelt Study Center in the Netherlands and was a Fellow at the Washington Library at Mount Vernon. \nCopies of The Actual Art of Governing: Justice Robert H. Jackson’s Concurring Opinion in the Steel Seizure Case will be available for purchase and signing at the event.

SUMMARY:Nuremberg Symposium\, Advancing a Treaty on Crimes Against Humanity
DESCRIPTION:Eighty years after the Nuremberg Trials laid the foundation for modern international criminal law\, there is still no global treaty solely dedicated to the prevention and punishment of crimes against humanity. That may soon change. In November 2024\, the United Nations Sixth Committee adopted a resolution advancing negotiations on a draft Crimes Against Humanity Treaty. \nThis panel will trace the trajectory from the 1945 Nuremberg Charter to today’s treaty initiative. Panelists will explore how the definition of crimes against humanity has evolved to address contemporary challenges\, and why a dedicated treaty is urgently needed. Discussion will highlight how such a treaty could strengthen state obligations to prevent and prosecute crimes\, enhance protections for victims\, and close critical accountability gaps. \nAt a moment when the world faces both resurgent mass atrocities and shrinking space for justice\, this program examines how a new treaty can realize the principles first articulated at Nuremberg—justice\, accountability\, and the rule of law. \nSpeakers– Leila Sadat – Director\, The Crimes Against Humanity Initiative; James Carr Professor of International Criminal Law\, Washington University in St. Louis School of Law; Special Adviser on Crimes Against Humanity to the ICC Prosecutor– Sean Murphy – Former Member\, UN International Law Commission (Special Rapporteur for Crimes Against Humanity); Manatt/Ahn Professor of International Law\, George Washington University Law School \nAbout the American Society of International Law (ASIL)Founded in 1906\, the American Society of International Law is a nonprofit\, nonpartisan\, educational membership organization. Its mission is to foster the study of international law and promote international relations grounded in law and justice. Through events\, publications\, research\, and education\, ASIL advances international law scholarship for professionals\, policymakers\, and the public.

SUMMARY:25 Years of Asking Questions: "A Republic\, If You Can Keep It"
DESCRIPTION:Benjamin Franklin’s famous challenge\, “a republic\, if you can keep it”\, feels especially urgent today. Join us for a timely conversation about the health of democracy: the pressures it faces\, the sources of resilience\, and the practical steps citizens and institutions can take to strengthen civic life. In an era marked by distrust\, polarization\, and rising authoritarianism\, where do our democracies stand today? This talk examines Jackson’s warnings\, ideals\, and enduring belief in constitutional stewardship\, and asks how citizens\, institutions\, and communities can rise to meet this pivotal moment. \nAbout the SpeakerPeter C. Cohen is a seasoned attorney with more than forty years of experience in civil litigation\, appellate advocacy\, and legal writing\, with deep expertise in the jurisprudence of the U.S. Supreme Court. Over his career\, he wrote and edited more than a thousand briefs for courts at every level\, distilling complex constitutional questions into clear\, persuasive arguments. He also served as an adjunct professor of law\, teaching landmark Supreme Court decisions and helping students\, both American and international\, understand constitutional foundations\, separation of powers\, due process\, and the limits of presidential authority. \nMotivated by growing concerns about democratic erosion\, Cohen retired from active practice in 2025 to devote himself fully to researching and writing In the Supreme Court’s Own Words: First Principles for Checking Presidential Power and Preserving the Republic. The book reflects a lifetime of legal inquiry and a career-long commitment to the rule of law\, civic education\, and the Constitution’s role in safeguarding a republic of laws.

SUMMARY:Nuremberg Symposium\, The Ethics and Philosophy of Prosecution: Justice vs. Revenge

SUMMARY:25 Years of Asking Questions: What Makes a Life Matter?
DESCRIPTION:Robert H. Jackson’s journey\, from a small-town upbringing in Frewsburg to the Supreme Court and then to Nuremberg\, raises enduring questions about leadership\, justice\, and legacy. Why do we continue to study Jackson today? What makes a life worthy of remembrance? And how does one person’s commitment to principle shape institutions and ideas long after they are gone? \nIn this program\, distinguished legal historian G. Edward White explores these questions through the lens of his acclaimed new biography\, Robert H. Jackson: A Life in Judgment. Drawing from Jackson’s personal papers\, oral histories\, and decades of scholarship\, White presents a portrait of the justice who defended New Deal policies\, authored landmark opinions such as Barnette\, dissented in Korematsu\, and served as chief U.S. prosecutor at Nuremberg. \nAbout the SpeakerG. Edward White is the David and Mary Harrison Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of Virginia School of Law and one of the nation’s most respected scholars of American legal history. A former clerk to Chief Justice Earl Warren\, White has authored 20 books\, received numerous national awards\, including honors from the American Historical Association\, the ABA\, and the AALS\, and is a fellow of both the American Academy of Arts & Sciences and the Society of American Historians. His scholarship ranges from constitutional law to the cultural history of American sports\, and he has delivered major endowed lectures across the country and abroad. \nHis new book\, Robert H. Jackson: A Life in Judgment\, traces Jackson’s extraordinary rise from self-taught country lawyer to Supreme Court justice and chief prosecutor at Nuremberg. It offers fresh insight into Jackson’s independent judicial philosophy\, his defense of civil liberties\, and the global impact of his work at the International Military Tribunal. \nThe book will be available for purchase at the program.

SUMMARY:25 Years of Asking Questions: Who Gets to go to School?
DESCRIPTION:From school segregation and busing to book bans\, charter schools\, and modern achievement gaps\, the fight for educational equity has long reflected the nation’s broader struggle to live up to its democratic ideals. In her lecture\, The Politics of U.S. Public Schooling: Tinkering Toward and Away from Dystopia\, Dr. Melinda Lemke invites attendees to examine how far we’ve come since Brown v. Board of Education\, and what still divides us. Through this conversation\, we aim to explore the legal\, cultural\, and policy battles that have shaped access to education in America\, and to encourage reflection on what “equal education” should mean in the 21st century. \nThe discussion is grounded in the legacy of Robert H. Jackson’s final Supreme Court case\, Brown v. Board of Education\, 347 U.S. 483 (1954)\, the landmark decision that declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional. The ruling affirmed that equality in education is essential to equality in citizenship\, an idea that continues to challenge our laws\, institutions\, and collective conscience. \nAbout the SpeakerMelinda Lemke\, Ph.D.\, is an Associate Professor of Educational Policy and affiliated faculty in Global Gender and Sexuality Studies at the Universityat Buffalo (UB)\, SUNY. Dr. Lemke is a qualitative methodologist\, and her research focuses on the politics of education and how social policies address structural violence to improve the health\, well-being\, and human rights of women and girls. This includes examining the causes\, effects\, discourses concerning\, and public system responses to gender-based violence and the largescale internal and cross-border displacement. \nDr. Lemke’s work in higher education is informed by a previous career in U.S. public secondary education and work in sexual assault prevention and advocacy. She is actively involved in shared governance at UB\, SUNY\, serving for example as faculty senator elect and as United University Professionals Buffalo Center Chapter Grievance Officer for Academics. Dr. Lemke is the author of more than 60 publications and is the recipient of multiple research and practice awards\, including most recently the Paula Silver Case Award for co-authored research on human trafficking and the Dr. Conrad F. Toepfer\, Jr. Award for doctoral mentorship.

SUMMARY:Nuremberg Symposium\, Images of Hate\, Trials of Conscience: What Nuremburg Taught Us About Propaganda
DESCRIPTION:Eighty years after the Nuremberg Trials\, this program revisits a vital and timely question: Can images be criminal? \nMilitary historian and legal scholar Dr. Mark M. Hull\, Ph.D.\, J.D.\, FRHistS\, FRSA (Professor\, Department of Military History\, US Army Command and General Staff College\, retired; Advisor\, Courtroom 600 Project) will explore how propaganda in Nazi Germany was not only spoken or written\, but also drawn\, filmed\, and mass-distributed. \nHis highly visual presentation will examine the postwar denazification cases of:– Veit Harlan\, Nazi filmmaker– Fritz Hippler\, propaganda film chief– Philipp Rupprecht\, cartoonist whose antisemitic caricatures helped prepare the public for genocide \nUnlike Julius Streicher—hanged at Nuremberg for incitement through his newspapers\, speeches\, and children’s books—these visual propagandists largely escaped similar accountability. Their cases reveal the profound difficulties of prosecuting persecution by image. \nDrawing on newly uncovered historical evidence and connecting it to modern parallels—from Charlottesville to the spread of digital hate memes—Dr. Hull traces the enduring power of visual propaganda. \nThis program asks: What responsibility do artists\, media figures\, and creators bear when their images fuel atrocity? And what lessons must we carry forward as we commemorate the legacy of Nuremberg? \n\nRegistration coming soon.

SUMMARY:25 Years of Asking Questions: Do We Still Believe in Free Speech?
DESCRIPTION:From internet misinformation and campus protests to hate speech and extremist rallies\, questions about the limits of free expression have become some of the most pressing issues of our time. This program invites attendees to examine not only what the First Amendment protects\, but also what responsibilities come with that freedom. Through this conversation\, we aim to provide historical\, legal\, and civic context that helps the public better understand how free speech shapes our democracy\, and how we can navigate the challenges of truth\, safety\, and open discourse in a rapidly changing world. \nThis conversation is grounded in the legacy of Robert H. Jackson\, who wrote in West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette\, 319 U.S. 624 (1943) that “freedom to differ is not limited to things that do not matter much.” Jackson’s words remind us that the right to speak\, dissent\, and challenge authority lies at the heart of democratic life\, a principle that remains as vital and contested today as it was in his time. \nAbout the SpeakerOur featured speaker\, Aaron Saykin\, leads the Media and First Amendment Practice at Hodgson Russ LLP in Buffalo\, where he advises clients on defamation\, free speech\, and access-to-information issues under New York’s Open Meetings and Freedom of Information Laws. Drawing on his 13 years as an investigative television reporter in Pittsburgh\, Buffalo\, and Wilmington\, North Carolina\, Aaron brings a unique perspective to the intersection of law\, media\, and public accountability. \nHe has become a trusted advisor to higher education institutions and other organizations navigating the challenges of free expression\, reputation management\, and media relations. Aaron’s work reflects a deep commitment to protecting the principles of transparency and the First Amendment in modern civic life.

SUMMARY:Nuremberg Symposium\, 80 Years On: The Legacy of the Nuremburg Trials for Accountability
DESCRIPTION:The British Institute of International and Comparative Law (BIICL)\, together with the Robert H. Jackson Center and the International Nuremberg Principles Academy\, will hold an event to mark the 80th anniversary of the commencement of the Nuremberg Trials. \nThe event will focus on the continued importance of the precedents set by the Nuremberg Trials\, and the resulting Nuremberg Principles\, for the global struggle against impunity today. In particular\, our distinguished panel of speakers will consider what bearing Nuremberg has on the much vexed question of whether doctrines of immunity can act as a bar to the arrest and prosecution of State officials accused of international crimes. \nConsideration will also be given to the wider legal and political landscape of the 1940s that facilitated transformative approaches to seeking justice\, including the work of the United Nations War Crimes Commission. The speakers will reflect on the lessons that remain to be learnt from these past processes in order to close outstanding accountability gaps. \nThe panel discussion will be followed by a Q&A session with the audience. \nChair: Judge Joanna Korner CMG KC\, Judge of the International Criminal CourtSpeakers– Sir Howard Morrison KCMG CBE KC\, former ICC Judge and current Independent Advisor on War Crimes to the Ukrainian Prosecutor General– Ms Gillian Higgins\, International Barrister and Head of the International Practice Group at 9BR Chambers– Professor Dan Plesch\, Professor of Diplomacy and Strategy at SOAS University of London\, and Visiting Research Fellow at BIICL– Professor Diane Marie Amann\, Regents’ Professor of International Law\, Emily & Ernest Woodruff Chair in International Law\, and Faculty Co-Director of the Dean Rusk International Law Center\, at the University of Georgia– Professor Dr Christoph Safferling\, Director of the International Nuremberg Principles Academy \nEvent Convenors– Kristin Hausler\, Dorset Senior Research Fellow in Public International Law and Director\, Centre for International Law\, BIICL;– Anthony Wenton\, Research Fellow in Public International Law\, and Convenor of the project “The Immunity of State Officials from Foreign Criminal Jurisdiction: Lessons from the United Nations

SUMMARY:Nuremberg Symposium\, Opening Event: A Virtual Tour of Courtroom 600
DESCRIPTION:Our symposium begins with a special virtual tour of the historic Courtroom 600\, provided by the Memorium Nuremberg Trials. This is the very space where Robert H. Jackson delivered his powerful Opening Statement at the International Military Tribunal. The tour will offer participants both historical and legal context\, highlighting how Jackson’s words framed the proceedings as a pursuit of justice rather than vengeance. His vision set a precedent for international accountability that continues to shape tribunals today.
