The deborah project, founded by harvard law school professor jesse fried and staffed by experienced volunteer and staff attorneys, provides legal assistance on a pro bono basis to those being discriminated against in educational settings, either because they are jewish and/or pro-israel. The aim of the deborah project is to use legal skills and tools to uncover, publicize and dismantle antisemitic abuses in educational systems, with the aim of bringing wrongdoers to justice and deterring future abuses.
