It is with a great sadness that we mourn the loss of EJA Fellow Brian Lewinstein of the UC Berkeley School of Law. This summer, Brian fellowed with the East Bay Community Law Center to "represent young people at risk of entering the juvenile justice system in Alameda County through the Education, Defense & Justice for Youth (EDJY) clinic." Brian leaves behind a legacy of compassion, advocacy, and generosity, which we wish to honor with the annual Brian Lewinstein EJA Memorial Fellowship.

"I think it’s important to maintain a connection with the community you’re working with. One of the [ways] I define my professionalism is to maintain some level of community service."
