University of Miami School of Law
The following University of Miami School of Law students have received fellowships from Equal Justice America. These fellowships were made possible by contributions from UM law alumni. We look forward to putting many more University of Miami law students to work providing vitally needed legal assistance to the poor.
(Equal Justice America is an independent non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation unaffiliated with any law school.)

I am thankful to have gotten this opportunity and to have been surrounded by amazing attorneys, law clerks, and support staff [at Bay Area Legal Aid]. Without the help of Equal Justice America I would not have been able to serve my clients and protect their rights.

Overall, this summer was an amazing learning experience for me, I feel like I was given a wide variety of tasks including, but not limited to: interviewing clients, research and writing legal memoranda, representing clients as Administrative Hearings, and community outreach. I attended various trainings involving other fields of public interest and I learned the differences between individual lawyering and community lawyering. This placement definitely enhanced my desire to find a career in public interest.
