St. John’s University School of Law

The following St. John’s University School of Law students have received fellowships from Equal Justice America. These fellowships are made possible by contributions from St. John’s School of Law alumni. With continued support from the alumni, we look forward to putting many more St. John’s law students to work providing vitally needed legal assistance to the poor.

"Even though I had immigration experience prior to this internship, I firmly believe that I have grown as a future attorney and that my knowledge of immigration law has expanded tenfold. Throughout the school year I will be working at Catholic Charities while I participate in the Immigration and Refugee Litigation Clinic. I am eager to continue the cases I have been able to work on this summer and to see how their cases unfold throughout the school year. Without this fellowship, I would not have been able to travel back and forth from work, immigration court, and family court. Thanks to this opportunity at Catholic Charities, I am sure now more than ever that both my passion and my future are in immigration law."
