  Recent results on studies of the structure of nucleons and nuclei in the
regime of strong interaction QCD are discussed. Use of high current polarized
electron beams, polarized targets, and recoil polarimeters, in conjunction with
modern spectrometers and detector instrumentation allow much more detailed
studies of nucleon and nuclear structure than has been possible in the past.
The CEBAF accelerator at Jefferson Lab was build to study the internal
structure of hadrons in a regime where confinement is important and strong
interaction QCD is the relevant theory. I discuss how the first experiments
already make significant contributions towards an improved understanding of
hadronic structure.
