On November 30, Notre Dame Law School’s Religious Liberty Initiative hosted the event "The Rising Tide of Antisemitism on American Campuses and Beyond" at the McCartan Courtroom.
The event sought to raise awareness of the need to protect Jewish students and reinforce a culture of respect, dignity, and safety amid the surge in antisemitism across U.S. college campuses.
Dean G. Marcus Cole urged Notre Dame Law Students to use their legal education as well as their core values in order to address racism proactively and effectively even after graduation—all while ensuring that their future work is meaningful.
“Litigation matters,” he said. “In the United States, it is often law that drives social change. Resist the temptation to separate values from your opportunities going forward. We can make a change by public policy, and, when necessary, we can make a change through active legal advocacy.”
Order of St. Thomas More members protect the dignity of people across the globe as they ensure students with exceptional ethical standards can pursue a mission-driven legal education regardless of their financial situation.
