JALSA participated in an amicus brief in the 9th Circuit with several Armenian groups and genocide education groups supporting state reference to Armenian Genocide in a bill dealing with statute of limitations on insurance claims.  The plaintiffs had sued saying the state could not
reference the Armenian Genocide because the federal government had not recognized that event.  Lower courts and an earlier 9th Circuit review said the ambiguity of the federal government on recognition of the Armenian Genocide did not preempt use of that term in state legislation.              Movsesian v. Victoria Versicherung AG, et al

JALSA has participated with Armenian leaders in several court briefs and has supported the ability of students to study the Armenian Genocide.
