The Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights under Law

The Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law (LDB) is a nonprofit organization founded by Kenneth L. Marcus in 2012 to advance the civil and human rights of the Jewish people and promote justice for all. LDB is active on American campuses, where it, according to the organization, combats antisemitism and anti-Zionism. LDB was named after Louis D. Brandeis, a Jewish American lawyer and associate justice on the Supreme Court of the United States active in the Zionist movement. LDB has no relation to Brandeis University or to Louis D. Brandeis himself. Leadership and organization LDB was founded in early 2012 by Kenneth L. Marcus, a former Staff Director of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights who served as the Assistant Secretary of Education for Civil Rights from June 2018 to July 2020. Marcus is the author of The Definition of Antisemitism (Oxford University Press, 2015). The Board of Directors are Richard Cravatts, Tevi Troy, L. Rachel Lerman, and Adam S. Feuerstein.
