An overview is presented of the upgrade of JLab's cw electron accelerator from the current maximum beam energy of 6 GeV to the upgraded maximum energy of 12 GeV. Construction of the 12 GeV upgrade project has started in 2008. A broad experimental program has been developed to map the nucleon's intrinsic correlated spin and momentum distribution through measurements of deeply exclusive and semi-inclusive processes, and to probe the quark and gluon confinement by studying the spectrum of mesons with exotic quantum numbers. Other programs include the forward parton distribution function at large xB, the quark and gluon polarized distribution functions, measurements of electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon ground state and of nucleon resonance transitions at high Q2, and the exploration of physics beyond the Standard Model in high-precision parity-violating processes. The higher beam energy is also well suited to explore quark hadronization properties using the nucleus as a laboratory.
