The StandWithUs Saidoff Legal Department empowers students and community members through a legal response to antisemitism and anti-Israel activity.
We analyze antisemitic and anti-Israel incidents, work with you to determine the appropriate response, and bring all StandWithUs resources to bear. We work daily with StandWithUs educators, regional staff, student fellows, community members, and partner organizations to respond to potentially actionable matters.
About Legal
