For Your Information...

In 2008, Equal Justice America launched its Washington, DC for Equal Justice campaign to greatly increase legal services to the poor by creating new postgraduate, summer and school year fellowships, putting more law students to work with DC legal aid organizations.

The following law students have received fellowships from Equal Justice America to work in DC on behalf of the poor.  Your support will help us continue and expand our program in Washington, DC.  We need your help!
