American Association of Jewish Lawyers & Jurists

The American Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists (“AAJLJ”) was founded in 1983 and is affiliated with the International Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists (“IAJLJ”). The AAJLJ represents the American Jewish legal community, defending Jewish interests and human rights in the United States and abroad.

The AAJLJ is a non-profit association that is open to all. Through its members, the AAJLJ provides legal support to safeguard human rights. In addition, the AAJLJ works to combat those who utilize “lawfare” to delegitimize Israel. AAJLJ efforts include filing amicus briefs in cases relating to the right of an American citizen born in Jerusalem to have “Israel” listed as his/her place of birth on their U.S. passport, the unlawful nationalization of Jewish property in Arab countries, the immunity of foreign government officials from civil lawsuits, the recovery of damages under federal anti-terrorism laws from those who finance terrorism, and the constitutionality of the death penalty.
