Jackson Center to Hold Symposium on Immigration Law, Security, and Citizenship

The issue of immigration law, security and citizenship will be the subject of a day-long symposium at the Robert H. Jackson Center in Jamestown this Friday. Elizabeth Lenna Fellow at the Jackson Center, John Q. Barrett, will host the program, which runs from 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM. Barrett says immigration is certainly a timely subject, and one that Jackson -- as a U.S. Supreme Court Judge -- dealt with several times. The St. John's University Law Professor says he'll present the introductory lecture, "Robert H. Jackson on Immigrants, Citizens, Power and Liberty"...
