Albany Law School

The following Albany Law School students have received fellowships from Equal Justice America. These fellowships are made possible by contributions from Albany Law alumni. With continued support from the alumni, we look forward to putting many more Albany Law students to work providing vitally needed legal assistance to people in need.

(Equal Justice America is an independent non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation unaffiliated with any law school.)

"One of the things that has drawn me to public interest work is that I am able to have a direct, positive impact on the lives of those around me. That is why I am extremely grateful to Equal Justice America for supporting my work this summer. Without EJA, I would not be able to help the thousands of New Yorkers facing immigration issues."
