"In the case of a Jew and a gentile who approach the court for judgment in a legal dispute, if you can vindicate the Jew under Jewish law, vindicate him, and say to the gentile: "This is our law." If he can be vindicated under gentile law, vindicate him, and say to the gentile: "This is your law." And if it is not possible to vindicate him under either system of law, one approaches the case circuitously, seeking a justification to vindicate the Jew."
-BT Bava Kamma 113a, Steinsaltz translation

Shortly after there's a bit of a back-and-forth on this point, but ultimately the ruling effectively supports this unless it's too obvious and makes the Jews look bad. Good to know Jews are so prominent in the American legal system!
