Prestigious Law Firm Ramps Up Vetting of New Hires Following Anti-Israel Protests
[will] “review resumes for participation in pro-terrorist groups and other similar activities”
There are people who have basically ruined their careers over these protests but they just don’t know it yet.
From the National Law Journal:
As pro-Palestinian protests spread across university campuses, Sullivan & Cromwell’s senior chair said Wednesday the firm will be “more vigilant” in screening potential candidates. The firm is now outlining some of its vetting processes in that effort, including reviewing resumes, social media, news reports and student group affiliations and employing third-party specialists for background checks. …
Senior firm chair Joe Shenker has maintained a strong position against hate speech and bias during the Israel/Hamas conflict, taking the lead on efforts such as a group letter signed by dozens of law firm leaders sent to law school deans that maintained an “unequivocal stance” in opposition to antisemitism. Shenker was in his Jerusalem synagogue’s bomb shelter when the Hamas-led attack on Israel began on Oct. 7.
In a statement Wednesday, Sullivan & Cromwell said it will “review resumes for participation in pro-terrorist groups and other similar activities” as well as do a “thorough review of the candidate’s online presence, school website [and] news reports” moving forward.
It will also request “lists of all campus organizations the student has been or is currently a part of and monitor activities from those groups that do no align with our ethical standards,” the firm said.
In addition, the firm said it will employ third-party specialists to do formal background checks.

this whole “hate speech” fiasco set up by the lefty to tear down america is working
HATE SPEECH IS TO BE ALLOWED
thatttttt is the whole point of americas foundation is to PROTECT HATE SPEECH
now that its going against the leftists who started it we are all to happy to support it
which then allows the real criminals to carry on with the REAL MISSION AT HAND
fundamentally change america to that “friendly” socialist utopia that can only exist by ignoring that onslaught of REAL issues that the left has once again
diverted us from attacking
hate speech?????
you’ve been duped again!!!
Doesn’t mean you have to hire applicants who publicly support terrorists who are sworn to murder you, does it?
You’re both right.
Private discrimination is an American’s right.
DC is predicting a contrived Hegelian “synthesis” to establish hate speech laws as a phony public “solution.” I think he’s right too.
thanks
had to look that up
CORRECT!!
It’s perfectly ok for a business to ban hate speech (whatever that is). The government can’t ban it, however, under the 1st Amendment. The reason, as we all know, is that you can’t define hate speech objectively. Those who punch your comments “thumbs down” would ban some things others say while those others would ban something the “thumbs down” people would say. The “thumbs down” people are too dense to realize this. Or so confident that they’ll always be in charge of things that they don’t feel at risk. They will be surprised one day. They always are.
agree
and they are, as you correctly noted, in charge so they dont feel at risk
until they are
btw
good on any companies that dont want to hire anti americans
they get to say what they want
and businesses should have the right to not want to hire them
They will make toxic employees.
If you don’t hire them, they have neither the chance to be toxic, or employees. Problem solved!
The tattoos, the face jewelry, the keffiyehs, the car stereos. These people are telling you who they are before you even ask. Employers, landlords, and loan officers who are smart enough just to pay attention have an incredible advantage.
I foresee a time when the prestigious law firm of, say, Solomon, Rabinowitz & Goldberg is sued for discrimination by some blue-haired screeching ninny that led anti-israel demonstrators at places like Columbia or one of the other ivies. She, of course appeared in a lot of YouTube videos and was one of the loudest voices to be heard.
one of the “Scariest” aspects of all this is the laws that have been put in place as of decades ago which gives these pos the right to sue and win against companies
