American University Yesterday afternoon the Brandeis Center has launched their first Law School Chapter in the East Coast, at American University’s Washington College of Law, located in Washington D.C. The law school chapter initiative is the most recent developed program, to involve future leaders who are passionate about justice in the Brandeis Center’s campaign against campus anti- Semitism. LDB President Kenneth L. Marcus commented, “This is absolutely thrilling news for the Brandeis Center, to know we have passionate and diligent law students who share our goals and want to take an extra step by learning and educating themselves about legal actions that they can take when they see injustice. These students are the future leaders of America, so their immense interest in our organization’s work truly means a lot.” The launch of the Washington Law College chapter follows quickly upon the launch of LDB’s first chapter at the UCLA law school. The launch started off with LDB’s newly featured video which explains the main goals for the creation of the law chapters and why law students across the U.S. should be part of it. Then, LDB’s staff attorney Danit Sibovits, answered multiple questions which sparked from the attentive student body. The students were interested in knowing how they can be more aware of campus anti-Semitism. They learned that through the chapters, the Brandeis Center will help students host speaker events, lead various discussions, and conduct advocacy-orientated sessions that focus on Jewish civil rights and anti-Semitism on campus. So the law chapter members will actively use the skills they are learning to promote awareness and justice when they see any forms of campus anti-Semitism. We are delighted about our first two chapters and we hope to commence more.
