Overview
- The partnership is anchored by Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, with more than 40 firms and roughly 39,000 attorneys participating across 35 states.
- Victims can submit online reports of discrimination, intimidation, harassment, vandalism or violence, which an AI system triages before referral to ADL litigators or partner firms.
- The network formalizes the 2023 Campus Antisemitism Legal Line and now covers workplaces, K–12 schools and public accommodations, including matters involving extremist-affiliated actors.
- Organizers cite a sharp rise in anti-Jewish hate, and Gibson Dunn says it is assigning over 100 of its lawyers to the pro bono effort.
- ADL frames the move as a shift toward litigation to create legal consequences and case law, while civil-liberties groups question Title VI and IHRA-based approaches as other Jewish legal organizations signal collaboration.
