The Equal Justice Works AmeriCorps program is one of the most productive and highly regarded national service programs in the nation. This AmeriCorps program makes a lasting impact on the communities it serves by facilitating pro bono opportunities and expanding the legal resources in low-income and underserved communities.

The primary responsibility of Equal Justice Works AmeriCorps Legal Fellows is to create quality pro bono opportunities. AmeriCorps Legal Fellows bring together volunteer law students and lawyers with community legal aid providers to expand their services and serve more clients. AmeriCorps Legal Fellows also gain hands-on experience by providing direct legal services and by developing substantive legal resources.

Equal Justice Works AmeriCorps projects are based at 16 legal service agencies around the country. All projects require AmeriCorps Legal Fellows to collaborate with area law schools, student groups, community organizations and legal aid providers in the creation of pro bono opportunities.

We hope you have a wonderful experience as an
Equal Justice Works AmeriCorps Fellow!
