Receptions

You can help us to empower a new generation of Justice Advocates

Receptions

During the summer of 2024, Equal Justice America took significant steps to foster deeper connections within our community, both online and in person. Our inaugural EJA Summer Receptions brought together current fellows, alumni, and hosts in a series of engaging events designed to unite, educate, and inspire. These gatherings not only highlighted the critical needs of public interest work but also showcased the strength of personal connections.

A heartfelt thank you to our exceptional hosts who made these events possible:
  • Jody Simon, Partner at Fox Rothschild LLP
    Los Angeles Reception
  • Elliot Feldman, Senior Partner at BakerHostetler
    Washington DC Reception
  • Elizabeth Fraser, Shareholder at Greenberg Traurig
    Boston Reception
  • Michael Devorkin, Partner at Golenbock Eiseman Assor Bell & Peskoe LLP
    New York City Reception
  • Sarah Siskind, Partner at Miner, Barnhill & Galland PC
    Chicago Reception

Thank you for your support in strengthening our community!
