The Indianapolis Bar Association will host U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson for a luncheon discussion Thursday at the Indiana Convention Center.
Jackson is scheduled to discuss her experiences on the nation’s highest court, her career in public service and her recently released book, “Lovely One: A Memoir,” with Jane Magnus-Stinson, senior judge for the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana.
Jackson, who joined the court as President Joe Biden’s nominee in 2022, has become known for her blistering dissents as a member of the court’s liberal minority since President Donald Trump took office.
She was the lone dissent in the court’s decision Tuesday to allow Trump to continue mass federal layoffs.
In her dissent, Jackson called the court’s decision “hubristic and senseless,” and she accused the court of releasing the president’s “wrecking ball.”
Jackson is one of the three liberal leaning justices on the court and has been one of its most active justices. Within the term that ended last month, she wrote 24 total opinions.
The sold-out Thursday event, hosted by the Indianapolis Bar Association, will mark the first time a U.S. Supreme Court justice has appeared at an IndyBar function.
More than 1,000 ticket-holders will receive lunch and a copy of Jackson’s book.
Doors will open at 11:15 a.m. with lunch being served at noon. The program will start at 12:30 p.m.
