Stanford Law School

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

"I had an amazing experience at NYLAG, and I am grateful for EJA’s support this summer. I got substantive work that helped me imagine a future public interest career for myself and I am excited to dedicate my life to serving those who are overlooked by our legal system."
