Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Potential Appointment To The Supreme Court

Paula Johnson, professor in the College of Law and director of the Cold Case Justice Initiative, was interviewed for the WAER-FM story “What Ketanji Brown Jackson’s public defender experience would bring to SCOTUS.”

Johnson discussed the potential of Ketanji Brown Jackson’s appointment to the Supreme Court and the new perspectives she would bring to the position. She said, “Someone will be in a position to say, ‘well, what about this? Have we heard from the position of the accused? What do we know about their experience?’ — all of the relevancy of matters that may otherwise go unaddressed, unconsidered.”
