From Classroom Work to Real Life Experience
I have fond memories of my first year of law school. The amount of reading thrown at us was certainly challenging, but it was fun knowing that I was doing what I had dreamed of for the longest time. I remember learning about legal concepts such as the breach of implied warranty of habitability in Property, motions in Civil Procedure, and damages calculation in Contracts. However, none of it made practical sense until I served as a Student Counsel with the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau (HLAB) during the summer of 2024.

“So many of our EJA Fellows have done exactly what I had hoped. They’ve devoted their careers to public interest and provide shining examples of how the benefits of our program long outlive the duration of each individual fellowship.”

Every minute 24 people are victims of rape, physical violence or stalking. We have a domestic violence crisis, a crisis affecting 12 million women and men annually in the United States. In Cook County alone, from 9/1/21 through 9/1/22, Illinois Hotline Contact Data showed 20,754 calls from survivors seeking help.
The EJA Domestic Violence Fellowship will begin in Fall 2023.
