Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

The mission of Equal Justice Works is to create a just society by mobilizing the next generation of lawyers committed to equal justice. We provide leadership to ensure a sustainable pipeline of talented and trained lawyers are involved in public service. Equal Justice Works provides a continuum of programs that begin with incoming law school students and extend into later careers in the profession. We provide the nation’s leading public interest law fellowship program and offer more postgraduate, full-time legal positions in public service than any other organization.

PROGRAMS: 

Board of Directors

Equal Justice Works’ Board of Directors is a diverse group comprised of national leaders from law firms, law schools, corporate legal departments, and the public interest sector.  Committed to enabling the next generation of great lawyers to serve vulnerable communities and causes, our Board is dedicated to ensuring all individuals have access to equal justice.

National Advisory Committee

The National Advisory Committee (NAC) allows students and professionals at member law schools to provide meaningful insight and recommendations to Equal Justice Works. The NAC provides guidance and advice that is essential to the organization and helps Equal Justice Works reach its goal of having students develop a lifelong commitment to working on behalf of underrepresented individuals, communities and causes.

Leadership & Staff

Equal Justice Works staff is a dedicated group working to mobilize the next generation of public interest lawyers.  A close community with a passion for ensuring the equal representation of all, Equal Justice Works staff is proud to support the work of our Fellows, member law schools, host organizations, NAC members and Board of Directors.  We thank host and event sponsors for their generosity and for making our work possible.
