#GeorgetownLawSchool, my alma mater, is stepping up to try to help previously employed federal #lawyers who have been laid off due to the draconian actions of the #SpaceNazi & #DOGE . . .

It's run by Georgetown Law school students, some nice context in this article.

Significantly, Georgetown Law has been at the forefront of fighting back against Trump’s DEI rollback. Dean William Trennor defended its curriculum after Ed Martin, the controversial acting U.S. Attorney for Washington D.C. (and Trump’s nominee for the job) said he would not hire students from the school unless it got rid of all its DEI programs. In a letter to Martin, Trennor wrote: “..the constitutional violation behind this threat is clear, as is the attack on the University’s mission as a Jesuit and Catholic institution.”

Indeed, Georgetown is emerging as a locus of student resistance. A self-described “grassroots group of students” at the school has been compiling and updating a Google spread sheet tracker of 375 law firms, with their response to Trump administration executive orders and EEOC investigations. It even lists any changes firms have made on their web sites relating to diversity, equity and inclusion.

“This isn’t coming from a negative place or trying to cancel these firms,” says Sophia C., a third-year Georgetown law student who updates the tracker daily and requested we not use her last name over fear of retaliation against her family. She says over 25 student groups have committed members to update the page daily, with each person taking about 30-40 minutes a day to do so. “We want to provide access to information, both to students and other law firms, to show there’s a diversity of approaches you can take” in response to Trump.

wow! I'm working on the ham radio green book and this page has been removed from #NYU #lawschool web: https://www.law.nyu.edu/centers/race-inequality-law/protest-tip

It was a resource for #protestors during the #blacklivesmatter movement. More and more we will have to fight for our memories and #knowledge of #truth and #history.

Question, my dad told me about this program called the people's law school where they will teach you how to be a lawyer, have you go through law school, and while doing law school, have you volunteer at a lawfirm helping those who are low income receive legal representation. Does anyone know about this? #Law, #LawSchool, #Lawyers

The #UniversityOfToronto #LawSchool requires first year law students to take an #EDI course from #Coursera, a US online course provider.

Coursera doesn't market the course as EDI but as a 'history' course. All 3 of its professors are Israeli & work for #YadVashem, a museum in #Israel.

Do parents sending their kids to study law at #UofT know the level of anti-Arab Islamophobia they'll be exposed to?

We noticed you haven't been active in Antisemitism: From Its Origins to the Present. It can be hard to jump back in after a break, so here’s a recap of key points from | your last learning session

Highlighted text: - The historical context of Allah's anger towards the Jews significantly shaped

- The historical context of Allah's anger towards the Jews significantly shaped the Muslim community's attitudes and interactions with Jewish populations.
- The emergence of Islamism has profoundly influenced modern extremist movements, with roots in the ideological foundations established by groups like the Muslim Brotherhood.
- Distorted historical narratives in Sayyid Qutb's writings have fueled contemporary radical ideologies, emphasizing a persistent anti-Jewish sentiment among various extremist groups.

Release ends with:
EMAIL SENT TO FIRST YEAR LAW STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO

Screenshot text:
The overview on Coursera itself is clear that the course is Islamophobic in its nature, and absolutely nothing suggests that it is an EDI course. An entire module on how antisemitic the Arab world and Islam are, yet no mention of Christianity.

Coursera "EDI" course outline:

WHAT IS ANTISEMITISM? DEFINITIONS AND ORIGINS
Module 1 - 3 hours to complete

DEVELOPMENTS IN ANTISEMITISM
Module 2 - 3 hours to complete

GENOCIDAL ANTISEMITISM: FROM WORLD WAR 1 TO THE HOLOCAUST
Module 3 - 4 hours to complete

CONTEMPORARY ANTISEMITISM
Module 4 - 3 hours to complete

THE ISLAMIC AND ARAB WORLD
Module 5 - 3 hours to complete

On the right panel of the screenshot are listed the course instructors. They are:
Dr. Yossi Kugler, Yad Vashem, 5 courses, 13,642 learners
Dafna Dolinko, Yad Vashem, 2 courses, 2,922 learners
Dmitry Kolotilenko, Yad Vashem, 3 courses, 12,097 learners

Any #lawyers on here? My dad just wrote a book. "Raising the Bar, The Mentor Guidebook for New Lawyers." It would be a great addition to any law firm's library.

Check it out!

#introduction time…..

My name is Elliott. I’m from #Oklahoma, but moved to #WashingtonDC during the pandemic. I studied #philosophy in undergrad (always happy to talk #ethics #epistemology or #logic), and then worked in #SoftwareQA for a few years. Now I’m a #1L in #LawSchool.

My favorite hobby is #reading, but I also enjoy #boardgames and #gaming (#rpgs and #GrandStrategy).

I love #learning new things and having conversations with passionate people. Glad to be here!
