MEET OUR PANELISTS

Carly Gammill is a seasoned constitutional litigator with extensive experience handling matters involving free speech and religious liberties and fighting antisemitism, including the anti-Israel, antisemitic BDS campaign, on campuses, in court, and at the United Nations. Carly’s work in combating antisemitism derives in part from her background in the educational field, as well as from a deep personal conviction that the world–including people of other races and religions–cannot afford to stand by silently while the Jewish people are once again targeted, marginalized, demonized, and harmed. Carly is the Director of the new StandWithUs Center for Combating Antisemitism and serves the StandWithUs Saidoff Legal Department as Counsel for Litigation Strategy.

Jerome M. Marcus for the past thirteen years Jerome has practiced primarily in the area of antitrust, health care and employee benefits, and appellate litigation.

He was Associate Editor of the University of Chicago Law Review, and Executive Editor of the Legal Forum of the University of Chicago. He then served as Law Clerk for the Hon. Edward R. Becker, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in 1986-1987.
