Touro Law’s Antisemitism Law Clinic had its first field trip of the semester this week—on Wednesday, the state of Israel launched a new Global Task Force to Combat Antisemitism at the United Nations as part of the General Assembly opening. Professor Mark Goldfeder was invited to address diplomats from dozens of countries on the dangers of antisemitism to global society and the best ways to fight it from within the institution. Clinic students were present for the address and had a chance to meet many of the dignitaries before and after the speech.

"Providing our students with front-row access to high-level international advocacy is an extraordinary learning opportunity," said Professor Goldfeder. "Seeing diplomatic strategy and legal principles applied on a global stage gives our clinic students invaluable real-world experience as they prepare to become the next generation of leaders in fighting antisemitism."

Clinic students met with Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon and American Ambassador Jeff Bartos. Left to right: Samuel Yakubov, Ambassador Jeff Bartos (United States), Ambassador Danny Danon (Israel), Professor Mark Goldfeder, Adam Yusupov, and Clara Chaya Epstein.

Touro Law Center’s Orientation Program brought together both our incoming and returning students for a truly impactful learning experience through an immersive Poverty Simulation. The Simulation provided students with the opportunity to better understand the realities faced by individuals and families experiencing poverty while reinforcing the importance of empathy, access to justice, and community collaboration.

A sincere thank you to Lisa M. Zayas, Esq., Director, Access to Justice Division, Office for Justice Initiatives, NYS Unified Court System, for facilitating this experience and helping our students gain valuable insights that will remain with them throughout their legal education and future legal careers.

Special thanks to the Honorable Andrew A. Crecca, District Administrative Judge, 10th Judicial District, for his continued support and commitment to bringing this meaningful experience to our students. Thank you to Joseph R. Benedetto, Justice Coordinator, Principal Court Analyst, District Administrative Judge’s Office, 10th Judicial District, and Julia B.
