What did Justice Jackson say about the emergency docket?

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said the Supreme Court’s emergency docket is problematic and potentially corrosive, warning that its frequent use creates institutional costs and strains the Court’s relationship with lower courts. She called for greater restraint and less reliance on the fast‑track procedure.

Where did she make the remarks?

Jackson delivered the comments during the annual civil‑rights and civil liberties lecture at the University of the District of Columbia’s law school on Thursday. The event was a public speaking engagement organised by the university’s law faculty and was attended by students and scholars.

She argued that the emergency docket has become a special avenue for certain privileged litigants, allowing them to obtain fast‑track Supreme Court orders while other parties wait. Jackson questioned why one party receives a fast pass and warned that this creates unequal access to justice.
