Lawfare Project represents student who returned home from school with swastika carved into his back

In April 2023, The Lawfare Project was retained as counsel of record for a 17-year-old Jewish student who was the victim of an alleged antisemitic attack at Las Vegas’s Clark High School. The student — who is autistic and nonverbal, and attended the school with a service dog — did not receive the special education support he was entitled to under federal and state regulations. He was pulled from classes after his mother discovered a swastika carved into his back and realized he was not safe in his school environment.

The student was wearing a yarmulke when the alleged attack occurred and culprits are still at large due to the apparent absence of security cameras in the school.

In November 2023, The Lawfare Project filed a legal complaint against the Clark County School District (CCSD) for alleged violations of the student’s state and federal civil rights. Hillary Freeman, Esq. of Freeman Law Offices, LLC and Nevada-based attorney Lori Rogich of Rogich Law Firm, PLLC joined The Lawfare Project in this legal action.
