Washington, D.C. (September 28, 2023) – The Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law (LDB) is pleased to announce the appointment of Alexandra Rindenow as the organization’s newest Civil Rights Legal Fellow. Ms. Rindenow, a graduate of the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, will assist with an array of legal duties and policy matters. “The demand for Brandeis Center services is at an all-time high, reflecting both increasing campus anti-Semitism and wide recognition of our legal successes,” said Brandeis Center Chairman Kenneth L. Marcus. “Adding Alexandra and other new lawyers to our staff allows the Brandeis Center to do more of what it does best – advance the civil and human rights of the Jewish people and promote justice for all.” “As the former Vice President of Cardozo’s LDB law student chapter, Alex is already familiar with the Brandeis Center’s work,” stated Brandeis Center President Alyza D. Lewin. “It’s wonderful when students, like Alex, who become involved with LDB through their campus chapters choose to expand their connection with us as either law clerks or civil rights legal fellows. Alex’s background and experience combined with her passion and enthusiasm have enabled her to hit the ground running. We are delighted to have her as a new member of our team,” added Lewin. “I’m excited to begin my legal career at the Brandeis Center, empowering students to address the growing issue of contemporary anti-Semitism on campus and prompting school administrators to acknowledge its existence and associated risks,” proclaimed Ms. Rindenow. “In a time when anti-Semitism is on the rise, this mission is more important than ever. I’ve always aspired to work in the field of human rights, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to combine that passion with my identity as a Jewish individual dedicated to advancing human rights. I look forward to contributing to the center’s impactful work alongside its dedicated team.” Ms. Rindenow served as staff editor, articles editor and board member of the Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution. She spent her third year of law school working at the Cardozo Human Rights and Atrocity Prevention Clinic, focusing on atrocity prevention in both the legal and policy-based arena. During multiple legal internships for nonprofit organizations serving vulnerable populations, she assisted underserved communities, including Jewish victims of domestic violence. She has also volunteered for Jewish organizations serving terminally ill children living with cancer-related disabilities. The Brandeis Center continues to accept applications for civil rights legal fellows, as well as law student clerkships and undergraduate communications and policy internships.
