Ranking member Grassley esteemed senators to supplement our discussion.
I will share perspective relating to Judge Jackson's writings.
In her contributions to shaping the law.
Various groups of holly credential. Judges, lawyers, administrators
and legal scholars confirmed the judge. Jackson has the ability as
required by our standard for Supreme Court nominee
To communicate clearly and persuasively and a manner to harmonize
bodies of law and to give guidance to lower courts and the legal
community, and she has done so across a significant range of complex
issues.
Judge. Jackson, for example, has served on the American Law Institute
and their Leadership council, an organization impacting American
jurisprudence for close to 100 years.
It publishes the restatements of law and model codes, among other
things.
Her fellow l I leaders remarked, and I quote, incredible work ethic
very well prepared. Another quote I would describe
Her competence in this way.
Thoughtful intelligence, thoughtful superior competence.
With regard to Judge Jackson Services, vice chair of the United States
Sentencing Commission.
A bipartisan independent agency created by Congress to, among other
things, reduce sentencing disparities.
Her fellow commission nerves praised her.
Contributions and their collective views is summed up by three quotes.
The first quote. She was gracious, respectful and wonderful to work
with.
She remained calm and positive, even when debating emotional issues
of sentencing policy.
She was also very trustworthy, absolutely no indicia of bias.
Second quote. She works hard and is committed to the rule of law.
Third representative quote Just Jackson was a strong consensus building.
During her time as a commissioner who worked across party lines.
Judge Jackson also served on the United States Judicial Conference
Committee on the Defenders Services, which oversees the Federal defenders
program.
And the Administration of Criminal Justice Act.
Culture of elective of her committee members.
Judge Jackson listens carefully, and when she spoke in, weighed in,
she was persuasive and often would sway the whole room.
She is highly respected.
Second quote an independent thinker who brings a different viewpoint
to the court.
Third quote, brilliant and conversant in many areas of law.
And next turn to our observation of our scholarly reading groups
are teams of law professors and legal experts from Stanford Law and
the University of Illinois.
College of law, as well as practitioners that includes former Supreme
Court clerks, law partners.
Attorneys who worked at the solicitor general's office and veteran
evaluators of Supreme Court nominees, all of whom were impressed.
One reviewer who argues routinely before the high court described
Judge Jackson's writings in a manner representative of the collective
thoughts of all three reading groups.
And I quote
Her opinions consistently reveal a deep commitment to legal process.
She identifies in states the relevant legal standards and meticulously
applies them to particular records.
The hallmark of her opinion is thoroughness.
No matter how routine the case does Jackson's opinions precisely
and exhaustively described the applicable standards and Doc Toronto
context.
Reciting detail the contentions of the parties.
And painstakingly explains her applications of those legal standards.
Her opinions are also structured. She had all times orients the reader
to the guide posts for a decision and her reasons for reaching them.
Her opinion show no favoritism or bias, close quote.
This type of comment is representative and consistent across all
reviewers and provides keen insight and to judge Jackson's approach
adjudicating legal issues.
In conclusion.
Judge Jackson's leadership and the legal profession reputation amongst
such leaders.
Clam, a Torrey remarks from each of these groups consisting well
over 60 of the top legal minds in our country.
Further supports the judge. Jackson as a preeminent member of the
legal profession with outstanding legal ability and exceptional breath
of experience, merits the highest rating of the American Bar Association
Standing Committee on the federal judiciary.
The rating of well qualified to serve on the United States Supreme
