Robert Jackson was an associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1940s and 1950s. He also served as the Chief Prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials at the end of World War II, in Germany.
Jackson, who never attended college, was known to be a brilliant, conservative judge. Evidently he conducted the Nuremberg Trials in a reasonably fair manner, as three persons were acquitted and a substantial percentage avoided the death penalty.
Future conservative Chief Justice William Rehnquist once served as Jackson's clerk.
