Download PDF Washington D.C.The Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law (LDB) announced today that it is bringing on two new Law Clerks, Jacky Beda and Corey Celt, and three Communications and Development Interns, Steven Isaacson, Ilan Kaplan, and Lee Sutherand. As LDB continues in its mission to defend against incidents of anti-Semitism across college campuses, the new additions to the team provide welcome assistance, coming from universities across the country, and bringing their on-campus expertise to the table. LDB President Kenneth L. Marcus was pleased to welcome the new recruits for the summer, especially in light of the increase in the anti-Semitic atmosphere on college campuses. He says, “There has never been a more crucial time to work on the problem of campus anti-Semitism, and I am delighted to have such active members of their communities join our team. We are glad to have Steven back with us this summer, as he and Jacky, Corey, Lee, and Ilan have begun their work with a passion that is heartening to see.” Ilan was at the heart of an anti-Semitic incident on Cornell University’s campus just this past year, and all the newcomers came to LDB with the knowledge that the next such anti-Semitic incident might be on their own campus. Jacky Beda is currently a rising 2L at George Washington University Law School. Prior to coming to the Brandeis Center, Jacky was an intern for the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, an advocacy organization advocating for American engagement abroad through diplomacy, development, foreign aid, and lobbying on Capitol Hill for a stronger and more robust Global Affairs Budget. Jacky is a graduate of Yeshiva University where he earned his B.A. in Political Science in 2014. Corey Celt is a second year law student at the DePaul University College of Law, where he serves as the president of the International Law Society and as a member of the executive board of the International Human Rights Law Journal. Corey is also the founding member and President of DePaul’s LDB Law Student Chapter. Steven Isaacson, a returning intern from last summer, is an incoming junior at Clark University planning to major in Political Science and minor in Asian Studies. Raised in Germantown, Maryland, Steven takes interest in music, international affairs, income inequality, and seeing both sides of a debate. Ilan Kaplan is a rising junior at Cornell University. A New Jersey native, Ilan is an English major and active in Jewish life at Cornell. He has served as the student vice president of Chabad on campus, Jewish Life Chair of the AEPi Beta chapter, and as the choreographer for his Jewish a cappella group, “The Chai Notes.” Lee Sutherland, of Northern Virginia, is going into his senior year at Liberty University. He is a history major and serves as the opinion editor of his school’s newspaper, the Liberty Champion. Over the last two summers, Lee has interned with the Department of Homeland Security’s Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties as well as the Chertoff Group, a private security consulting firm.
