Who is Ketanji Brown Jackson, Biden’s Supreme Court pick?

Al Jazeera  

As Jackson’s Senate confirmation hearings get under way, Al Jazeera examines her path to the United States’ top court. When US President Joe Biden nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson to the United States’ highest court, he praised her “exceptional credentials, unimpeachable character, and an unwavering dedication to the rule of law”. Biden’s pick was also historic, as Jackson would be the first Black woman to ever serve on the US Supreme Court – and she has received support from a wide array of stakeholders, from Democratic lawmakers to civil rights groups, law enforcement agencies and state attorneys general. In a fact sheet on Jackson’s Supreme Court nomination, the White House said that the judge’s high school guidance counsellor told her not to set her “sights too high” when she said she wanted to attend Harvard University. If confirmed to the Supreme Court, Jackson would be the first public defender ever to serve as justice on that bench, the White House has said.
