Fordham Jewish Law Students Association

JLSA is so excited to introduce the 2022-2023 Executive Board! We can’t wait to see everything you all accomplish! 🎉⚖️✡️

Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, is a day of commemoration for the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust by N**i Germany and its collaborators, and for the Jewish resistance in that period.

Earlier this semester, we announced JLSA’s newest newest initiative, The Fordham Law Living Holocaust Memorial Project, in which we have collected the stories of all those whose lives were affected by the atrocities of the Holocaust and the War.  We have finished collecting materials for the project, for which we are so grateful. We are in the process of compiling them for preservation on a website and working with the school to do so. More updates to follow!

Please join JLSA, F1GS, and LALSA for a bluebook tabbing workshop with current legal writing TA's and a journal Senior Notes and Articles Editor. The session will cover important tabs to add to your bluebook along with helpful tips for using your bluebook. Bring your tabs, a pen, and your bluebook! RSVP form and Zoom link in bio!

We are so touched by the Fordham Law Community’s care for the people of Ukraine during these times.

Happy Purim from Fordham JLSA! We hope you have fun time celebrating 🥳 💃🕺🏻

Come join JLSA tomorrow for a quick conversation about Purim and cookies!

JLSA’s International Women’s Day Highlight Series presents:  Mila Kunis. Mila Kunis is an American Jewish actress from Chernivtsi Ukraine.  In 1991, at the age of seven, she and her Jewish family fled from Ukraine (then part of the USSR) to the United States. At age 14, Kunis began playing Jackie Burkhart That '70s Show. Since 1999, she has voiced Meg Griffin on Family Guy. She and her husband, Ashton Kutcher, have started a GoFundMe to provide aid to Ukraine, which has raised as of now over $18.8 million dollars. To help can provide support you can contribute to their GoFundMe at https://www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with-ukraine, or see the link in our bio to contribute to JLSA’s own efforts to help Ukraine.

Our E-Board Applications are now opened! See our link in bio for how to apply, and please DM or email us if you have any questions.✡️

The Fordham Law School community has been overwhelmed and deeply disturbed by recent news and images of the crisis unfolding in Ukraine. At this time, millions of people need urgent assistance. Throughout the month of March, the undersigned organizations will be collecting non-perishable canned goods, essential medical supplies, hygiene products, infant items, and new clothing in Rooms LL-126, LL-130, & 4-101. There will be labeled boxes and informational flyers in these designated collection rooms.

High Priority Items: Blankets, mittens, knee pads, goggles, winter shoes, warm socks, bandages, tourniquets, diapers, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, baby wipes, thermal underwear, gauze, sterile swabs, disinfectants, gloves, painkillers, and first aid kits.

Those who are not on campus will also be able to purchase and donate goods via Amazon Wishlist. More information to come soon! Supplies will be sent weekly (Fridays) to the Humanitarian Nova Poshta Warehouse in East Hanover, NJ, and will then be shipped to Ukraine and distributed to charitable organizations, volunteer fighters, and civilians based on need.

Thank you for your contributions!
