RISING ANTISEMITISM
LEGAL TOOLS
TO FIGHT HATE
Faced with a precipitous rise of the world’s oldest form of hate, what are the legal tools at our disposal?
Using a comparative approach, Legal Perspectives will equip lawyers and the larger legal community with concrete legal remedies to antisemitism in multiple contexts.

What starts with Jews
never ends with Jews.
Jewish Canadians are facing a dangerous rise in antisemitism across the country and around the world. The Jewish community is not alone. Recently, there has been a disturbing increase in all types of polarizing and hateful discourse across the planet often creating a rise of hateful incidents.
The rise in antisemitism has been felt in all spheres of society, and lawyers have been increasingly solicited to intervene or to offer advice on these sensitive matters.
Register now and ensure you have the tools to address rising antisemitsm.
