About the Book

Until he joined the US government in 1934, Robert H. Jackson had been a lawyer in private practice in Upstate New York who was admitted to the bar without going to college and after completing only one year of law school. Jackson became, in rapid succession, United States Solicitor General and United States Attorney General, where he successfully defended New Deal programs before the Supreme Court. In 1941, FDR nominated him to be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, on which he served until his death in 1954, only months after his adding his vote to the unanimous decision in Brown V. Board of Education. It was a meteoric rise for someone from outside the elite, and essentially self-trained. That didn't stop Jackson from becoming one of the most influential and independent-minded judges of his day, unafraid to question the status quo and leave his mark on a number of landmark cases, including West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnett. To many, however, Jackson's most significant contribution was as chief US prosecutor at the Nuremberg war trials following the war. Drawing on Jackson's extensive personal papers in the Library of Congress and the Jackson Center, as well as a substantial oral history, G. Edward White's biography offers the first full-length portrait in decades of this fascinating and seminal figure.



About the Author :
G. Edward White is David and Mary Harrison Distinguished Professor of Law and university professor at the University of Virginia. His fifteen books include The American Judicial Tradition and Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. White is also the editor of the John Harvard Library edition of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., The Common Law. Rob Greenbaum is a professional narrator and voice-over talent in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Before training in narration and voice-over acting, Rob was a public interest lawyer for approximately twenty years. He's well accustomed to explaining complicated matters so that everyday people can understand them. That was essential in his work for a Native American tribe-dealing mostly with environmental law and cultural issues; as well as in his role as a staff attorney at New Mexico Legal Aid, where he handled consumer rights, landlord-tenant, and family law cases for low-income clients. Both experiences made him comfortable discussing anything from highly technical subjects to sensitive matters requiring understanding and compassion. Being a detail-oriented lawyer also taught Rob the importance of developing his knowledge about subjects with which he may not have been familiar previously. Such diligence equally serves him as an audiobook narrator, particularly for nonfiction. But, like any good attorney, Rob knows that information is only worthwhile insofar as it's used to tell an engaging story.
