SEATTLE ~ In response to an alarming rise in antisemitism across college campuses, a dozen of the nation's top plaintiff-side law firms have come together to urge law school deans to take action. The firms, which include Baron & Budd; Carella, Byrne, Cecchi, Brody & Agnello, P.C.; Edelson PC; Grant & Eisenhofer; Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP; Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check LLP; Motley Rice LLC; Pomerantz LLP; Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP; The Rosen Law Firm; Seeger Weiss LLP; and Wexler Boley & Elgersma LLP, are sending a letter to all U.S. law schools in an effort to protect Jewish students and condemn any expressions of hatred or racism.
The letter was prompted by the October 7 attack by the terrorist group Hamas on thousands of innocent civilians in Israel—including the torture, rape, and mutilation of infants, children, women, and the elderly—which has been followed by an increase in support among law students and student organizations for the actions of Hamas and other terrorist groups.

"Many of us never imagined we would witness this level of hatred and violence toward Jewish people and the State of Israel," said Hagens Berman's managing partner and cofounder Steve Berman. "Law schools and universities have a moral and legal obligation to protect students and to hold persons responsible for calls to violence and intimidation."
The letter calls on law school deans to ensure the safety of Jewish students on campus as well as investigate any faculty or employees who make statements or take actions that promote antisemitism or create a hostile environment in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The firms also invite other plaintiff-side firms to join them in their efforts.
The signatories are some of the most successful plaintiff-side law firms in the world that regularly recruit law students committed to social justice. They depend upon law schools for preparing new attorneys who will be exceptional litigators as well as morally grounded advocates for justice.
"We condemn hatred and racism directed against any group of people," said Berman. "We ask you [law school deans] to ensure the safety of Jewish law students and to condemn without qualification this rising antisemitism."
