Today, the Brandeis Center announced the appointment of Todd F. Braunstein to the Brandeis Center’s Legal Advisory Board. As a member of the board, Braunstein will advise the Center regarding legal aspects of the Center’s fight against campus anti-Semitism.

A former federal prosecutor, Braunstein has years of experience in all phases of the investigative process, on both the government and the defense side. Additionally, after graduating with honors from Harvard College and Harvard Law School, Braunstein went on to serve as a White House and Senate advisor, giving him invaluable experience in and knowledge of the legal policy arena. Currently, Braunstein serves as a counsel in the Investigations & Criminal Litigation practice group at the law firm WilmerHale, LLP.

Braunstein will be joining a group of esteemed lawyers and legal scholars on the Legal Advisory Board, including Ronald Daitz, Stephen R. Greenwald, Alan Gura, L. Rachel Lerman, Alyza Lewin, Nathan Lewin, Judd A. Serotta, Neal M. Sher, Joel H. Siegal, and Jonathan A. Vogel. All of the advisors are prominent throughout the legal community, and their commitment to the Brandeis Center’s mission bolsters the Center’s fight against campus anti-Semitism.

Braunstein’s appointment occurs at a propitious time, as the Brandeis Center expands its legal campaign on college campuses for the coming school year. The increased activity against campus anti-Semitism by the Brandeis Center, gives students a new resource to combat anti-Semitism.

LDB President Kenneth L. Marcus commented “I look forward to working with Todd Braunstein, a brilliant lawyer and a really fine human being, as we upgrade our efforts to end campus anti-Semitism.   Todd brings an invaluable background and skill set to the Brandeis Center, including the perfect blend of investigative, legal, and public policy experience, which fits beautifully with the Center’s own work. We are excited about adding his voice to our organization.”
