TL;DR Summary

Law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell has revoked job offers to three law students from Harvard and Columbia universities who signed public statements supporting Palestine in the wake of Hamas' attacks in Israel. The firm's managing partner stated that the statements were contrary to the firm's values and its responsibility to provide a safe and inclusive work environment. Davis Polk is in dialogue with two of the students to consider additional information, potentially allowing them to be reinstated. This decision follows a similar move by Winston & Strawn, which rescinded a job offer to a former NYU student who made anti-Israel comments.
