About CSLA

Law and Antisemitism is the study of the law’s encounters with Jews, Jewishness, and antisemitism, and of legal and institutional responses to antisemitism and anti-Jewish discrimination.

The Center for the Study of Law and Antisemitism (CSLA) is an independent academic center devoted to advancing research, teaching, and scholarly exchange in this emerging field.

Its activities include:

• supporting research and writing on law and antisemitism;
• organizing conferences, workshops, and public programs;
• developing courses, teaching materials, and curricula; and
• fostering collaboration among scholars, lawyers, students, policymakers, and Jewish communal institutions.

The Center has supported the publication of Antisemitism and the Law (Carolina Academic Press, 2025), the first comprehensive scholarly treatment of the subject, and has helped organize annual conferences on Law and Antisemitism bringing together scholars, lawyers, students, and communal leaders.

Founded by Professor Robert Katz of the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law, the Center seeks to establish and advance the study of law and antisemitism as a distinct field of scholarly inquiry, professional education, and public engagement.
