Anthony Robert Julius (born 16 July 1956) is a British solicitor advocate known for being Diana, Princess of Wales' divorce lawyer[1] and for representing Deborah Lipstadt.
[2] He is the deputy chairman at the law firm Mishcon de Reya[1] and honorary solicitor to Foundation for Jewish Heritage.
In a Guardian article co-authored with historian Simon Schama, Julius wrote "This is not the first boycott call directed at Jews.
On 1 April 1933, a week after he came to power, Hitler ordered a boycott of Jewish shops, banks, offices and department stores.
"[14] Julius's other activities in this context included representing Ronnie Fraser in an action against the University and College Union (UCU).
Fraser, who was a member of the union, complained that it had created an "intimidating", "hostile", "humiliating", and "offensive" environment for Jews.
[15] After a 20-day hearing the tribunal rejected his claim, harshly rebuking Julius for "misusing the legal process".
Scorn is also invoked for Julius's decision to pursue certain points, with complaints variously dismissed as "palpably groundless", "obviously hopeless" and "devoid of any merit".
