Active Litigation Protecting Jewish Students Nationwide

The Deborah Project represents students, families, and faculty in cases we've filed in federal and state courts and in internal disciplinary and other proceedings. We believe strongly that, while negotiation can sometimes be effective, being ready to go court, and actually going when the other side won’t see reason, are the best ways to ensure that Jewish rights are respected and protected.

​

We have successfully represented students and faculty in disciplinary proceedings, leading to the dropping of charges pressed by anti-Israel antisemites, and often willingly supported by hostile or fearful administrators. We currently represent students, parents and faculty in state and federal courts on the East and West coasts, prosecuting claims that specific colleges and school districts are hostile environments for Jews who refuse to hide their commitment to the Jewish state.

​

We also frequently file, or represent others who file, public records requests to flush out into the sunlight the antisemitic materials that schools, or antisemitic teachers, use and often seek to hide. We have prevailed, and forced school districts to pay our legal fees, in such cases.
