The Brandeis Center’s mission is to advance the civil and human rights of the Jewish people and promote justice for all.
Through legal advocacy, research, and education, we advise and empower individuals, universities, and corporate entities to recognize and effectively address anti-Semitism. We train administrators to “Listen, Learn & Lead.”
We focus on the law. We provide strategic legal guidance to individuals facing anti-Semitic harassment and discrimination. And we train administrators on their legal obligation, including under the Civil Rights Act, to protect students and employees from a hostile environment.
The law is a powerful motivator. Brandeis Center cases demonstrate that when institutions recognize their legal obligation, they are motivated to protect Jewish members from anti-Semitism. We utilize the law to improve campus life for Jewish students, oppose anti-Israel boycotts, and prevent anti-Semitism in the workplace.
LDB sued UC Berkeley, alleging the university rejected an academic’s application to teach on Berkeley’s campus because she is Israeli.
LDB sued the People’s Forum and other individuals, including professional agitators, who were responsible for the Hamilton Hall takeover at Columbia University in April 2024.
LDB's lawsuit claims Jonathan Hirsch was forcibly removed from Jerusalem Coffee House for wearing a hat with a Jewish Star.
LDB and partners formed a legal helpline for students facing anti-Semitism. For assistance, visit legal-protection.org. For K-12 assistance in California, visit legal-protection.org/k-12.
