The UK branch of The International Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists
Welcome to the site of the United Kingdom Association of Jewish Lawyers & Jurists, this country’s branch of the International Association of Jewish Lawyers & Jurists, which makes us part of a global family. We have served the interests of Jewish lawyers and the Anglo-Jewish community, and those who share our values, for many years by our commitment to the rule of law and the role of the law in securing a just society which respects human rights and dignity and combats antisemitism.We seek to explore the legal issues of the day that have a bearing on our particular interests in a wholly non-political and open-minded way, to celebrate the contribution made by Jewish lawyers, and to provide encouragement and opportunities for younger lawyers. We welcome your interest in our activities, extend a warm invitation to you attend our events and hope you will consider becoming a member. Please contact us if you have any queries.

We are shocked and devastated by the news from Sydney this morning of a mass shooting at a Chanukah celebration at Bondi beach. Our hearts break for those who gathered to celebrate Chanukah and for all those others caught up in the atrocity. We mourn for the many who were killed as well as for the numerous people who have been injured.
At this time, we stand in solidarity with the Jewish community of Sydney and all people affected by this unimaginable terror and loss. We pray for the victims and for the recovery of the injured and for comfort for those who mourn.
We renew our commitment and resolve actively to pursue the rule of law and order and for the protection of our society from the forces of darkness and evil.
