Yesterday, Orrick joined with dozens of law firm peers in calling on law school deans to address the deeply troubling rise in antisemitic violence, hate speech and harassment on campuses in response to the Israel-Hamas war. As the letter observed:
“As educators at institutions of higher learning, it is imperative that you provide your students with the tools and guidance to engage in the free exchange of ideas, even on emotionally charged issues, in a manner that affirms the values we all hold dear and rejects unreservedly that which is antithetical to those values. There is no room for anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, racism or any other form of violence, hatred or bigotry on your campuses, in our workplaces or our communities.”
