The Second Circuit Judicial Council Committee on History, Commemorative Events and Civic Education has recognized Gregory L. Peterson, a partner with Phillips Lytle LLP, for his contribution toward preserving the legacy of Justice Robert H. Jackson.
Peterson co-founded, and serves as president of, the Robert H. Jackson Center in Jamestown. The new U.S. courthouse in downtown Buffalo, which saw its official opening ceremony on May 3, will almost certainly be named for Jackson.
The judicial council committee honored Peterson during a session of The Hands Lecture series, titled "Robert H. Jackson and Buffalo in the Hands' Circuit," held May 4 at the courthouse.
