Hockett, Jeffrey D. “Justice Robert H. Jackson, the Supreme Court, and the Nuremberg Trial.” The Supreme Court Review. 1990 (1990): 257-99.

Abstract: Justice Robert H Jackson regarded his service as United States Chief of Counsel at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial as “the most satisfying and gratifying experience” of his life and “infinitely more important” than his work on the Supreme Court. Many lauded Jackson’s efforts and agreed that Nuremberg represented a landmark in international law. Others denied the legitimacy of the Trial and excoriated Jackson for participating. The Trial, some argued, was a negation of principles that lie at the heart of any system of justice under law. it is odd that there is no sustained assessment of Jackson’s decision to participate in the event. Therefore, an examination of Jackson’s Nuremberg experience is of more than historical interest, since requests for judicial participation in international trials seem possible in an increasingly interdependent world.
