On Monday, March 28, Prof. Jacobson will address the Chicago-Loyola LDB Law Student Chapter on the topic of “The Case for Academic Freedom Against BDS.” Prof. Jacobson will discuss the history of the BDS movement, the nature of academic BDS and why regardless of whether one is pro-Israel, anti-Israel or someplace in between, one should be against academic BDS. The event will be co-sponsored by several student groups, including the Loyola Decalogue Society, and the DePaul University College of Law Center for Jewish Law & Judaic Studies (JLJS). Professor Jacobson has a national reputation as a leading practitioner in securities arbitration, and is a member of the Board of Directors of the Public Investors Arbitration Bar Association, an organization of over 450 attorneys dedicated to protecting public investors.
