GC's and C-suite executives need to hold their law firms accountable for their demand that law schools enforce a zero tolerance policy for anti-semitism, which you can find below. Hundreds of law firms signed this letter way back in November 2023. The letter and signatories can be found at the link below. Demand to know whether those firms are planning to recruit at Harvard, Penn, Georgetown, Yale and other "top" schools that continue to allow their campuses to provide fertile ground for Jew hate. And to those within law firms themselves, make your voices heard. Silence is complicity. https://lnkd.in/ee4mtP8u

"A CALL TO ACTION", THE ANTHEM OF A LAW STUDENT. In the halls of justice, where truth and fairness reign. A warrior emerges, fueled by complete passion. A law student bold and brave, with dreams that soar on high . They wield their pen like a sword ready to take action at any time. Each ruling and precedent, etched in their minds, with every case they find their voice, a symphony of advocacy. In the halls of law school, where dreams are born, lies the tales of those with the burden of the law, each challenge they face seems much more than what they foresaw. Beneath the strong resolve of law students lies emotions beyond control, the pressure to excel and the fear of failure is a constant echo. However they find their strength and push forward despite the fear of the unknown. With every argument they speak out loud, their voice a powerful justice seeking tool. For justice and equality to thrive, they stand as guardians. For law is not just words on a page but it is a promise of justice on every page. Beyond the books, their journey unfolds. A testament to courage and hope. So let their anthem sound through every land, as it is a call to stand up tall and join the fight for justice and equality. Dear law students, in your hands lie the power to shape a world where justice will reign.

Lesson for aspiring law school deans. Try to find a few minutes to read the documents needed to secure ABA certification of your inchoate school.

I am proud that my firm, Cozen O'Connor, is one of over 80 firms that has signed a letter to Canadian law school deans expressing concern at the surge of antisemitism on campuses. "At each of our firms, we prohibit any form of discrimination, hostility or harassment, whether verbal, visual or physical. Let us be clear: there is no room for anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, racism or any other form of violence, hatred or bigotry on your campuses, in our workplaces or our communities. As employers who recruit from each of your law schools, we look to you to ensure your students are prepared to join workplace communities such as ours that have zero tolerance for any form of discrimination or harassment."
