Antisemitic Terrorism, J. Richard Broughton

Lewis & Clark Law Review

Recent surges in antisemitic activity—and antisemitic violence, in particular—have led increasingly to conversations about the connections between antisemitism and domestic terrorism. While the nexus between antisemitic violence and domestic terrorism has long been expressed in rhetorical terms, its connection in legal terms—notably, federal criminal law—has been more attenuated. This Article explores that connection and finds that existing federal criminal law requires rethinking: it is underinclusive and thus inadequate to fully capture and punish the threats posed by today’s domestic violent extremism, and particularly antisemitic violence. The Article surveys recent federal prosecution in cases involving actual or threatened antisemitic violence, and …

Using A "Moves To Innocence" Approach To Dissect And Debunk The Claim That Critical Race Theory Is Antisemitic, Diane Kemker

Lewis & Clark Law Review

In the United States, law and policy have most frequently reflected dominant white Christian majority interests. Critical Race Theory (CRT) offers powerful tools for understanding our history and situation, including that of American Jews, and how the social positions and interests of American Blacks and Jews, real and perceived, have intersected, sometimes aligning, sometimes diverging, and sometimes conflicting. And yet, among other charges leveled against it, Critical Race Theory is frequently accused of being antisemitic.

Intentionally or not, this charge delegitimizes and discredits CRT, and therefore advances the aims of all who oppose it for any reason, including white supremacists …

Politicizing Antisemitism Amidst Today’S Educational Culture Wars, Lili Levi

Lewis & Clark Law Review

The traditional narrative of American Jewry emphasizes American exceptionalism with respect to antisemitism. But there have been clear signs of a resurgence of public antisemitism in the United States even before the massive rise in antisemitic expression and incidents associated with the Israel-Hamas war of fall 2023.

One of the notable aspects of the rise and normalization of antisemitic expression is the deployment of antisemitism as a political tool. For example, in addition to Democrats and Republicans accusing each other of complicity in antisemitism, both federal policy since the Trump era and state antiantisemitism legislation have targeted campus antisemitism in …

Asking The Jewish Question: The Import Of Jewish History To Corporate Law, Dalia T. Mitchell

Lewis & Clark Law Review

This paper brings Jewish American history to bear upon the analysis of three major milestones in the development of corporate law’s fiduciary duties jurisprudence: Meinhard v. Salmon (N.Y. 1928), Bayer v. Beran (N.Y. 1944), and Revlon, Inc. v. MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings, Inc. (Del. 1986). Bringing to the fore the background of the Jewish litigants and the Jewish lawyers who represented them, I use Meinhard, Bayer, and Revlon to explore changing cultural attitudes toward Jewish Americans’ participation in corporate America (as investors, managers, or their legal representatives). I argue that these cases demonstrate how our ideas about the appropriate purpose …

Pastoral Burnout: Causes, Consequences And Closure, Hyveth A. Williams

Faculty Publications

Pastoral burnout is a growing concern among religious leaders in North America, with significant consequences for both individuals and congregations. No denomination is unaffected by its debilitating presence; even Seventh-day Adventist clergy are not immune to this increasing stress-related twenty-first century health malady. Several factors contribute to pastoral burnout, including excessive workload, unrealistic expectations, lack of support, and boundary violations. These aspects often lead to emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, reduced personal accomplishment, and though rare, suicide. This presentation will explore the causes, consequences, and suggested conclusion with potential strategies for intervention and prevention of pastoral burnout.
