Alyza Lewin Join the American Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists’s (AAJLJ) DC Chapter for an exciting luncheon event on Monday, February 23, 2015. This installment of the AAJLJ’s speaker series, called “Is Jerusalem in Israel? The Zivotofsky (Jerusalem Passport) Case,” features a member of our legal advisory board, Alyza D. Lewin. Ms. Lewin is AAJLJ’s president, a partner at Lewin & Lewin, and a member of our legal advisory board. She will be discussing her experiences with arguing before the Supreme Court in the case of Zivotofsky v. Kerry. The case involves the right of an American citizen born in Jerusalem to list “Israel” as the place of birth on their U.S. passport. Come hear Ms. Lewin discuss the separation of powers questions raised by the case, and her experience at oral argument. The Louis D. Brandeis Center filed an amicus brief on the Jerusalem Passport Case in the U.S. Supreme Court, which is co-authored by leading scholars Alan Gura and Eugene Kontorovich. The brief argues that this case “lends itself to a much simpler resolution than would a true dispute between the president and Congress regarding the powers to recognize the legal status of states and foreign sovereigns.”
