Who is Ketanji Brown Jackson?
Ketanji Brown Jackson is an American jurist and attorney currently serving on the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals.
Originally from Washington, DC, Ketanji Brown Jackson grew up in Miami, Florida, the place where her father worked as an educator before becoming a school board attorney, and where her mother worked as a principal.
While a child, Jackson began considering a career as a lawyer when her father was re-enrolled in law school.
Between 2013 and 2021, she served as a district judge on the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.
Jackson’s current seat on the Harvard Board of Overseers may mean she recuses herself from one of the first major cases she would face as a Supreme Court justice — a challenge to the university’s admissions practices alleging that Asian American students are rejected at a disproportionately high rate.
