Founded in 1986 as the National Association for Public Interest Law, today Equal Justice Works partners with law schools, law firms, corporate legal departments and nonprofit organizations to offer law students and lawyers a chance to change lives. From advocating for law school programs that instill public service values among students, to creating summer and postgraduate public interest jobs, to addressing the staggering educational debt that keeps lawyers from going into public service, Equal Justice Works provides opportunities for the legal community to make good on the promise of justice for all.
Thousands of law students and lawyers are currently participating in EJW programs or have been involved in the past. These programs include:
Summer Corps - http://www.equaljusticeworks.org/programs/summercorps/general
AmeriCorps Legal Fellowships (previously PBLC) - http://www.equaljusticeworks.org/programs/americorps/general
Equal Justice Works Fellowships - http://www.equaljusticeworks.org/programs/fellowships
