Join us virtually as we bring together more than 2,500 law students and 250+ public interest employers from across the country for this year's Equal Justice Works Career Fair.
Registration
Student and recent graduate registration for this year’s virtual career fair (October 8-9, 2026) will open in in August. Only those students and recent graduates from an Equal Justice Works member law school are eligible to participate in this event.
Registration is $25 for the event. Several schools cover the registration fee for students. Please contact your law school administrators to find out if your law school is covering the cost for students for this year’s event.
Registration for the 2026 Career Fair coming soon!
Launch Your Career in Public Interest Law
Students and recent graduates are encouraged to apply for posted jobs from across the country. Candidates selected by employers will have the opportunity to interview during the Career Fair event.
Update for 2026: Based on recent feedback from employers, applicants, and law school professionals, this year’s event will not offer informational Table Talk sessions. Equal Justice Works remains committed to fostering meaningful connections between public interest organizations, law students, and recent graduates and will continue to provide opportunities for engagement outside of the Career Fair.
