Institute for Litigation Coordination
Providing coordination and support for the legal work being done to protect the civil rights of Jewish people in America
Providing a layer of coordination and support for the legal work being done to protect the civil rights of Jewish people in America.
Integrating and organizing the legal fight against Antisemitism
The Jewish community is facing a campaign of unlawful antisemitic discrimination that is well-funded and well-organized. While many organizations are working on a variety of fronts to stem the tide of Jew-hate, there is a need for more formal coordination to ensure that these efforts are not duplicated, best practices are proliferated, and resources are allocated strategically with privileges properly protected.
The NJAC Institute for Litigation Coordination is designed to provide coordination and support for the legal work being done to protect the civil rights of Jewish people in America. The Institute is advised by senior lawyers, academics, and politicians who form the advisory board. It has two primary goals:
Rather than reinventing the wheel, the Institute will invest in and support the organizations and firms already working in this space, making sure that they have the resources they need to operate efficiently. The Institute will also work in conjunction with the NJAC Legal Fellows Program.
Types of Litigation
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 makes it illegal to discriminate against any United States citizen due to their race, color, or national origin by any program or activity that receives Federal funds or financial assistance.
Employment Discrimination and Retaliation (Title VII)
As long-dormant hatreds have increasingly begun to emerge in recent years, Jewish employees increasingly face overt acts of discrimination and bias. This extends to blue collar as well as white collar employees, irrespective of level of religious observance.
Criminal Behavior & Torts
A tort case might involve antisemitism if the wrongful act (tort) committed against an individual or group is motivated by or includes elements of antisemitism.
Breach of Contract
A breach of contract case might involve antisemitism if one party to the contract discriminates against the other based on their Jewish identity, either in the formation, performance, or enforcement of the contract.
Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) / Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA)
We utilize JASTA and associated statutes and regulations to bring civil claims against those who provide material support for designated terrorist entities as well as those who aid and abet their crimes.
Governmental Cases
In the United States, government entities at both the state and federal levels handle antisemitism cases through various mechanisms.
