Washington, D.C. (January 25, 2023) – The Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law is pleased to announce the appointment of Deena Margolies as the organization’s newest Civil Rights Legal Fellow. . Ms. Margolies, a graduate of Northwestern School of Law, is part of the Brandeis Center’s Legal Initiatives Group. During her six-month term, Ms. Margolies will assist with an array of legal duties and policy matters. . “As the Brandeis Center’s work preventing anti-Semitic discrimination on college campuses expands beyond a number of open U.S. governmental investigations – from the University of Illinois and Brooklyn College to USC, Stanford, and the University of Vermont – we are pleased to welcome Deena to our civil rights team,” said Founder and Chairman Kenneth L. Marcus. “As an organization, we are now larger and stronger than ever before, with more lawyers pursuing cases against a greater number of institutions. While we are fighting anti-Semitism at more colleges, we are also fielding calls from parents of public school children and also addressing corporate anti-Semitism. Sadly, this growth has been necessary to combat the increasingly virulent anti-Semitism that we are seeing across the country.” . “Even as Brandeis Center staff enlarges our focus into workplaces and corporate policies, the need to root out anti-Semitism from classrooms and campus groups shows no signs of slowing down,” stated Brandeis Center President Alyza D. Lewin. “Deena’s passion for our work, sensitivity to the needs of our clients, and attention to detail, which she brings to her role at the Brandeis Center, will strengthen our already stellar team. Working with Director of Legal Initiatives Denise Katz-Prober, Senior Counsel Arthur Traldi, and Staff Attorney Ben Alkon, Deena’s addition expands our capacity and enables the Brandeis Center to better meet the growing demand for our services.” . “Recognizing that the Brandeis Center’s work exposing, explaining and undoing anti-Semitism in American higher education is unmatched, I’m humbled to assist and learn from such esteemed colleagues,” Ms. Margolies shared. “I am committed to upholding Jewish civil and human rights across the country – so that all groups maintain an even playing field and no one’s educational opportunities are curtailed by intimidation, shunning or hateful rhetoric.” . Ms. Margolies previously worked for the offices of two FCC Commissioners – Kevin Martin and Harold Furchtgott-Roth. Her Juris Doctor from Northwestern includes a Business Association Concentration from the Kellogg School of Management. Margolies also holds an LLM from Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in Intellectual Property Law. Her undergraduate degree is from the University of Pennsylvania, where she graduated Summa Cum Laude. . The Brandeis Center continues to accept applications for summer law student clerkships, civil rights fellowships and undergraduate communications and development internships.
