Abstract
Injective JW-algebras are defined and are characterized by the existence of projections of norm 1 onto them. The relationship between the injectivity of a JW-algebra and the injectivity of its universal enveloping von Neumann algebra is established. The Jordan analgue of Theorem 3 of [3] is proved, that is, a JC-algebra A is nuclear if and only if its second dual A** is injective.
