About the Aspen Institute Justice & Society Program
The Justice and Society Program convenes individuals from diverse backgrounds to discuss justice and how a just society ought to balance fundamental rights with the exigencies of public policy in meeting contemporary social challenges and developing the rule of law. The annual Justice and Society Seminar in Aspen, co-founded by Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun, continues to be led each summer by preeminent judges and law professors. JSP’s Washington, D.C.-based public programming component brings together public officials, established and emerging opinion leaders, and grass-roots organizers to share their perspectives in a neutral and balanced forum.
