LDB Welcomes New Law Clerks and Interns

The Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law (LDB) is proud to announce its new summer law clerks and interns for 2018: Emma Enig, Hannah Stanhill, and Julian Yigal Krtiz. Emma Enig is currently an undergraduate senior at George Washington University, where she is completing a double major in Political Science and Jewish History. Emma has held leadership positions on campus, serving as Secretary of GW for Israel (GWI). She also serves as a fellow for CAMERA (Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America), hosting events and monitoring anti-Israel and anti-Semitic activity on campus.

Additionally, Emma has previously worked for other organizations which work to facilitate Jewish life both on and off campus, such as the Republican Jewish Coalition and the Jewish Policy Center. After graduating from GWU, she intends to pursue a law degree. In regards to her work with the Brandeis Center, Emma stated that, “as a college student, I have witnessed far more anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism than I ever expected. It is clear that anti-Semitic harassment is once again becoming a pervasive problem, especially on college campuses, and I am so glad that organizations like the Brandies Center exist to help students fight against this harmful bigotry.”

 


 

Hannah Stanhill is a rising junior at Barnard College of Columbia University majoring in History and pursuing a minor in Psychology. She has previously served as a student leader at the Columbia/Barnard Hillel and will serve on the executive board of the Barnard student government this upcoming year. Following graduation, she plans to attend law school. Hannah was drawn to the Brandeis Center because she believes strongly in human rights and is deeply concerned by rising anti-Semitism across the country. Hannah hopes to help make significant advances in combatting anti-Semitism.

 


 

Julian Yigal Krtiz Julian Kritz is a rising second year law student at the University of Virginia School of Law, where he serves as the President of the Jewish Law Student Association – the umbrella student organization of which includes the UVA LDB Law School chapter. At UVA Law, Julian also serves as a Legal Writing Fellow, a Law & Public Service Fellow, and on the editorial board of the Virginia Journal of International Law.

Julian was drawn to a Civil Rights Legal Clerkship with LDB because of how the organization utilizes the law in order to fight against anti-Semitism and all bigotry, a mission that Julian finds to be of the utmost importance. That the work of LDB encompasses both his studies and his passion meant that the organization was a perfect fit for Julian.

Emma, Hannah, and Julian will join interns Edward Kunz and Jacob May and bring even more strength and diversity to the Louis D. Brandeis Center’s robust workplace.
