“This summer at the Center for Public Representation, I learned firsthand about strategic advocacy for people with disabilities. I listened to attorneys discuss when to push, when to defer, when to gather more information, and when to raise alarms. I’ll be able to incorporate these strategies into my own future work as a civil rights advocate. I’m forever grateful for the opportunity to work with and learn from these incredible attorneys.” – Lauren Vandemortel, Boston University School of Law, EJA Summer Fellow 2020

“By providing funding for this summer internship [at Greater Boston Legal Services], Equal Justice America has helped make such an experience possible for not only me, but many other equally dedicated and inspired future attorneys. It allows some of the brightest law students opportunities to remain financially afloat while passionately assisting others who are in great need of legal assistance. In this day and age, assisting clients of low-income or minority backgrounds has never been more critical, and I am grateful organizations like Equal Justice America are able to play a vital part.” – Victor Gibson, Boston University School of Law, EJA Summer Fellow 2017

“The attorneys at [The Disability Law Center] felt connected to the cases they took on and spoke of clients’ issues passionately, which contrasted with the academic detachment with which cases are sometimes discussed in law school. My internship at DLC reminded me why I decided to go to law school, and has inspired me to focus on disability law in the future whenever possible. I am grateful that Equal Justice America chose me as a fellow and its generosity allowed me to become an intern at DLC this summer. I am excited to pursue a legal career in public interest and hope to represent clients similar to those I encountered this summer.” – Nina H.
