The Civil Rights & Racial Justice Program at LAJC prioritizes the needs of community members directly impacted by the criminal legal system. We continue to explore the ways we can serve as a medium that communities can use to reach decision makers, focusing on pretrial justice, criminal fines and fees, prison conditions, expungement, and mental health. We are excited for the EJA Fellow, who will learn a different sort of lawyering that truly serves the people.
