Justice Brandeis Jubilee

"The relentless pursuit of ‘truth, even unto its innermost parts’ characterizes the intellectual expedition students undertake at Brandeis."

—President Jehuda Reinharz

A yearlong celebration is under way on the Brandeis campus to commemorate the 150th birthday of Louis D. Brandeis, whose life inspired the university’s founding mission.

Academic symposia, art and archival exhibitions, a birthday reception and other events throughout the Justice Brandeis Jubilee year will honor the legacy of the late U.S. Supreme Court justice, who throughout his life exemplified intellectual inquiry, promoted social justice and championed broad learning in the arts and sciences as one of the fundamental values of a democracy.
