Jackson is a former clerk for Justice Stephen Breyer. She was born in Washington, D.C., and attended public high school in Miami, Florida.

In March 2021 Merrick Garland was appointed Attorney General, opening his seat in the DC appeals court for Jackson. In June 2021 Jackson was confirmed with a vote of 53-47. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Lindsey Graham voted with Democrats to support KBJ to the circuit court.
Carrie Severino, president of the Judicial Crisis Network, told the Washington Free Beacon that if Biden were to nominate Jackson to the Supreme Court it would be "one more example of Biden rewarding the Arabella dark money network that spent hundreds of millions of dollars to elect Biden and Senate Democrats."[2]
