Thirteen conservative federal judges endorsed a letter to Columbia University and Columbia Law School leaders saying that students who occupied Hamilton Hall and encamped on the lawn during pro-Palestine protests unlawfully trespassed — and “absent extraordinary change,” the jurists won’t hire law clerks from the “once-distinguished” institution from now on, citing “lost confidence.”

The May 6 letter addressed to Columbia University President Minouche Shafik and cc-ing Columbia Law School Dean Gillian Lester began by saying that the institution was “ground zero for the explosion of students disruptions, anti-semitism, and hatred for diverse viewpoints on campuses across the Nation,” campus protests which together have led to some 2,000-plus arrests in recent weeks as the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza surpassed 200 days.

U.S. Circuit Judges Elizabeth “Lisa” Branch and James Ho, U.S. Court of Federal Claims Judge Matthew Solomson, U.S. District Judges Alan Albright, David Counts, James Wesley Hendrix, Matthew Kacsmaryk, Jeremy Kernodle, Tilman “Tripp” Self, III, Brantley Starr, Drew Tipton, Daniel Traynor, and U.S. Court of International Trade Judge Stephen Alexander Vaden, all 13 of them appointed by former President Donald Trump, announced a “boycott” of hiring law clerks on the stated “objective” of saving Columbia University from itself.
