National Advisory Committee
Do you wish to expand public interest opportunities on law campuses across the country? Join the Equal Justice Works National Advisory Committee to help bridge the gap between law school and the public interest field.

- Building relationships with law students and law school professionals within your assigned region
- Promoting public interest opportunities and resources
- Visiting and speaking at regional law schools
- Reporting back to Equal Justice Works on public interest law issues, news, and events
