BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - President Barack Obama has signed legislation naming Buffalo's new federal courthouse after the late Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson.
The president signed the legislation Friday following efforts by members of New York's congressional delegation to get it passed.
Jackson was a native of Chautauqua County, south of Buffalo. A former U.S. attorney general, he was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1941 and served for 13 terms. He took a leave for a year in 1945 to serve as chief prosecutor of Nazi war criminals during the Nuremberg Trials. He died in 1954.
The 10-story courthouse which now bears his name opened last fall.
