Associate Justice Robert H. Jackson of the U.S. Supreme Court will probably judge the finals of the Law School's Ames competitions which are scheduled to take place the first week in April.
It is known that Jackson has been asked, but there is no official confirmation of his acceptance. The Board of Student Advisers has followed the post-war precedent of inviting a Supreme Court justice. Associate Justice Hugo L. Black sat at last year's Ames finals.
The 58-years-old Jackson was appointed Associate justice in 1941 and became chief U.S. war crimes prosecutor at the Nuremburg trials in 1945. The Bureau of Internal Revenue retained him as general counsel in 1934 and he held the post of Solicitor General of the U.S. from 1938 to 1939.
