Equal Justice America began awarding fellowships to Washington University School of Law students in Summer 2020. These fellowships are made possible by contributions from WashULaw alumni. We look forward to putting many WashULaw students to work providing vital legal assistance to people in need.

"With the support of those around me, I’ve learned that connections with the community and advocates are critical to resilience. With the support of Equal Justice America, I have faith that, one day, we will learn to acknowledge migration as a human right, and that we are a nation of immigrants."

At Legal Aid Chicago, in their Children and Families practice, I was able to receive substantive work and direct client experience with folks who are sorely underrepresented in the legal field. The lessons I learned about client management, court operations, and legal drafting, I will take back to school and well into my career. By providing funding to law students doing this important work, EJA not only helps provide experience to law students, but it also makes an immense impact developing future lawyers for public interest legal work.
