John Q. Barrett

Benjamin N. Cardozo Professor of Law

John Q. Barrett is the Benjamin N. Cardozo Professor of Law at St. John's University in New York City, where he teaches Constitutional Law, Criminal Procedure, and Legal History courses. In the Spring 2024 semester, he is teaching two courses, Constitutional Law (to 1Ls) and Criminal Procedure: Investigation (an upper class elective). Professor Barrett also is the Elizabeth S. Lenna Fellow and a Director at the Robert H. Jackson Center in Jamestown, New York. He is a graduate of Georgetown University and Harvard Law School, a former U.S. government lawyer and investigator, and a regular media commentator on law, government, and history topics.

Work on Justice Robert H. Jackson: Professor Barrett is writing a biography of the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice and Nuremberg prosecutor Robert H. Jackson (1892-1954). This work will include the first inside account of Justice Jackson's service, by appointment of President Truman, as the chief prosecutor at Nuremberg, Germany, of the principal surviving Nazi leaders following World War II.

The Jackson List: Professor Barrett sends occasional emails regarding Justice Jackson and related topics to over 100,000 readers around the world. To read archived Jackson List posts, click here. To join the Jackson List, a one-way list that does not display recipient identities or email addresses, subscribe on through the archive site or send a "subscribe" email to [email protected].

Robert Jackson's book That Man: Fifty years after Jackson's death, Professor Barrett discovered and then edited his previously unknown manuscript, now an acclaimed book, That Man: An Insider's Portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt (Oxford University Press). That Man, a memoir of FDR from Jackson first meeting him in 1911 through their close working relationship and friendship during the New Deal years and World War II, is FDR biography, Jackson autobiography, and Jackson's renowned writing skill.

Some recent activities: On December 11, Professor Barrett moderated a Historical Society of the New York Court's program, "Justice Felix Frankfurter & the Idea of Judicial Self-Restraint: Then & Now in Federal & State Courts" (here on YouTube). On October 3, Barrett gave a lecture, "The Nuremberg Trials of Nazi War Criminals," in a webinar program hosted by Yad Vashem, the USC Shoah Foundation, and the Anti-Defamation League. In July, he introduced Professor Justin Driver's Robert H. Jackson Lecture on the Supreme Court, delivered at Chautauqua Institution (YouTube). Last May, Professor Barrett lectured on "Notorious R.E.C.? (Robert E. Cushman): The Famed Cornell Professor's Connections to Robert H. Jackson & Ruth Bader Ginsburg," at the Robert H. Jackson Center (YouTube). Last April, Barrett spoke about "Felix Frankfurter, Collector of People," at Touro Law Center's Frankfurter conference (video online). Last February, the New York State Bar Association president appointed Professor Barrett to serve on its Special Committee on the Selection of Judges for the New York Court of Appeals (press release). Professor Barrett recently published an essay, "Justice Lazansky on 'Repose' at Chief Judge Cardozo's New York Court of Appeals" in Judicial Notice, published by the Historical Society of the New York Courts. And Barrett's 2021 Romig Lecture at the U.S. Army's Judge Advocate General School, "Principled Legal Practice by Justice Robert H. Jackson at Nuremberg," recently was published in the Military Law Review (online). (For more, see the c.v. linked to the right, and the many links therein.)

Before joining the St. John's faculty, John Q. Barrett was Counselor to Inspector General Michael R. Bromwich, U.S. Department of Justice, from 1994-1995. From 1988-1993, Barrett was Associate Counsel in the Office of Independent Counsel Lawrence E. Walsh (Iran-Contra). From 1986-1988, Barrett was a law clerk to Judge A. Leon Higginbotham, Jr., of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

In addition to teaching Constitutional Law, Criminal Procedure, and Legal History courses, including on the Nuremberg trials, at St. John's, Professor Barrett has taught Constitutional Law modules in St. John's Summer Prep Program for College Students and Nuremberg-related courses in summer programs at the University of Potsdam Law School in Germany, at ISDE/University of Barcelona in Spain, and in Creighton University's program in Nuremberg.

Professor Barrett speaks regularly about the U.S. Supreme Court, Justice Robert H. Jackson, Nuremberg, FDR, and other legal and historical topics in public venues and to community, campus, religious, corporate, legal profession, and other audiences and groups throughout the United States and abroad.

Professor Barrett is a trustee of the trustee of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum and a trustee emeritus of the Historical Society of the New York Courts. He previously chaired the New York City Bar Association's Legal History Committee and served on the International Expert Advisory Council of the International Nuremberg Principles Academy.
