Litigation Coordination
Established in partnership with dozens of organizations and law firms, the NJAC Institute for Litigation Coordination ensures that efforts are not duplicated, best practices are proliferated, and resources are allocated strategically.
Our Goals
The Litigation Coordination Institute was designed to provide coordination and support for the legal work being done to protect the civil rights of Jewish people in America. It has two primary goals:

Coordinate national litigation efforts to protect and promote the civil rights of Jewish people.

Support advocacy efforts through resource sharing and liaising with national, state and local officials.
Types of Litigation
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 makes it illegal to discriminate against any United States citizen due to their race, color, or national origin by any program or activity that receives Federal funds or financial assistance.
Employment Discrimination and Retaliation (Title VII)
As long-dormant hatreds have increasingly begun to emerge in recent years, Jewish employees increasingly face overt acts of discrimination and bias. This extends to blue-collar as well as white-collar employees, irrespective of the level of religious observance.
Criminal Behavior & Torts
A tort case might involve antisemitism if the wrongful act (tort) committed against an individual or group is motivated by or includes elements of antisemitism.
Breach of Contract
A breach of contract case might involve antisemitism if one party to the contract discriminates against the other based on their Jewish identity, either in the formation, performance, or enforcement of the contract.
Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) / Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA)
We utilize JASTA and associated statutes and regulations to bring civil claims against those who provide material support for designated terrorist entities as well as those who aid and abet their crimes.
Governmental Cases
In the United States, government entities at both the state and federal levels handle antisemitism cases through various mechanisms.
