Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, known for her pointed comments and legal acumen, has found an unconventional mode of release from the pressure-cooker environment of the nation’s high court in weekly boxing sessions. Her fellow justices, such as Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, also have coping mechanisms like crying or slamming walls when faced with emotional challenges. Jackson embraces boxing as a way to release tension and maintain rhythm, recommended by her female security officer who is a boxer. The need for security for the justices was highlighted recently when an Alaska man was arrested for threatening to harm six Supreme Court justices and their families. Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s use of a bulletproof vest was discovered by her son, highlighting the real security threats facing the justices in their public positions. Jackson finds the security concerns unnerving but also doesn’t want to become too isolated from the public and the issues they face. Despite the security challenges, Jackson remains committed to effectively doing her job and staying connected to the world around her. The Supreme Court justices lead high-pressure lives with far-reaching consequences, and having outlets like boxing is crucial for maintaining their well-being and ability to make difficult decisions.
