An advocacy group that represents Jewish federations across Canada has reached out to its community, calling for volunteers willing to step up as plaintiffs in civil court actions against anti-Semites at Canadian universities.

“Our volunteer lawyers will represent you pro bono in any preliminary, investigative or legal proceedings,” wrote the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) in a national appeal on Dec. 19, as first covered by Blacklock’s Reporter.
