ABOUT THE AAJLJ
The American Association of Jewish Lawyers & Jurists (AAJLJ) is the voluntary bar association of American Jewish lawyers. We are a national nonprofit association that represents the American Jewish legal community on legal issues that affect, and are of importance to, the community, including; freedom of religion, civil rights, human rights, access to justice, social justice, and defense of the rule of law.
The Association also advocates upon and defends against matters affecting the global Jewish community such as antisemitism and those which are covers for antisemitism claiming only a desire to undermine the State of Israel such as the BDS movement.
