Jack Greenberg (born December 22, 1924) is an American attorney and legal scholar. He was the director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund for a quarter century, and was involved in numerous crucial cases, including Brown v. Board of Education. In all, he argued 40 civil rights cases before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Born in New York City, Greenberg graduated from Columbia College in 1945 and Columbia Law School in 1948.
Greenberg became the only white legal counselor for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund ("LDF") in 1949, and, in 1961, succeeded Thurgood Marshall as LDF's Director-Counsel. In addition to his work on Brown v. Board of Education, other cases Greenberg argued include Alexander v. Holmes County Board of Education, which ordered the end of segregated school systems "at once," and Griggs v. Duke Power Company, which outlawed basing employment and promotion decisions on the results of tests with a discriminatory impact. He also argued Furman v. Georgia (1972), in which the Court held that the death penalty as it was then applied was a violation of the "cruel and unusual punishment" clause of the 8th Amendment.
