Fireside Chat with Judge Roy Altman (Invite-Only)

September 10 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Please join us for a special afternoon featuring a fireside chat with United States District Judge Roy K. Altman as he discusses his new bestseller, Israel on Trial: Examining the History, the Evidence, and the Law. 

In his book, Judge Altman brings both judicial rigor and deep personal conviction to confront the claims that Israel is guilty of colonialism, apartheid, and genocide.* This is a rare chance to hear him unpack the ideas behind his book in a private setting, with plenty of room for real dialogue. 

The afternoon begins with light bites and beverages, followed by a fireside chat with Judge Altman. Guests are invited to stay afterward to connect and continue the conversation. 

We look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be a thoughtful, memorable afternoon.  

Address will be shared upon registration. 

This event is invite-only.

About Judge Roy K. Altman  

After being confirmed to a seat on the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida in 2019, Judge Roy K. Altman, at 36, became the youngest federal district court judge in the country — and the youngest federal judge ever appointed in the Southern District of Florida. He received his BA from Columbia University and his JD from Yale Law School, where he was projects editor of the Yale Law Journal. After law school, Altman clerked on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals for the Honorable Stanley Marcus. 

Altman was then appointed as a federal prosecutor at the US Attorney’s Office in Miami, where he twice received the Director of the Executive Office of US Attorneys’ Award for Superior Performance by a federal prosecutor. In 2013, Altman was named “Federal Prosecutor of the Year” by the Miami-Dade Chiefs of Police and the Law Enforcement Officers’ Charitable Foundation. 

In 2014, Altman was named a partner at the Miami law firm Podhurst Orseck, where he represented the victims of airplane crashes and bank fraud conspiracies. 

About Israel on Trial: Examining the History, the Evidence, and the Law 

In Israel on Trial: Examining the History, the Evidence, and the Law, United States District Judge Roy K. Altman brings legal rigor to the world’s most contentious debate. Applying courtroom-tested standards — burden of proof, corroboration, chain of custody — he examines claims of colonialism, apartheid, and genocide with dispassionate precision.

In an era shaped by viral slogans and curated outrage, Judge Altman offers a disciplined method for discerning truth from propaganda. Through historical records, archaeological evidence, genetic data, and international law, Israel on Trial shows what it means to demand proof — and what’s at stake when we stop asking for it.
