The American Bar Association (ABA) Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, which began its work in April, is mobilizing the nation’s lawyers and others to combat the growing trend of antisemitism, the group said in a release today. The task force plans to issue a report in August 2025 “describing the extent and immediacy of the issue and efforts undertaken by the profession to address and ameliorate instances of antisemitism and provide a path of redress,” said Nashville lawyer Barbara Mendel Mayden, co-chair of the task force. Toward that end, the task force has established working groups in the areas of K-12 education, civic and higher education, outreach to law firms, outreach to stakeholders, programming for judges and bar associations, and developing legislation and public policy.
