In a “hothouse of ambitious people,” Jackson’s colleague, Richard C. Schragger, said, she “stood out for her consideration of others … and her kind words to lots of people. She was clearly someone who could talk to anybody and definitely not an ideologue or someone who was pushing a particular agenda,” said Schragger, who teaches at the UVA School of Law. Fellow Harvard Law Review editor Kimberly Jenkins Robinson, also now UVA law professor, said Jackson’s election to an editing post was proof that she “had a brilliant legal mind, but she is also someone who is humble and easy to work with.”
