Equal Justice Works

Equal Justice Works organizes, trains, and supports public service-minded law students. It is also the national leader in creating summer and postgraduate public interest jobs.

Each year, Equal Justice Works offers job opportunities through:

• The annual public interest career fair and conference that draws employers and speakers from around the country

• Summer Corps, a program that provides educational vouchers of $1000 each to 250 students each year for qualifying public interest internships

• the Pro Bono Legal Corps, where attorneys work with law students to create pro bono opportunities

• Travel Assistance Grant Benefits, which provide students with financial assistance to attend Equal Justice Works events

• A Fellowship program that allows at least fifty attorneys or graduating law students to each design a two-year dream job

Furthermore, Equal Justice Works offers access to members-only content, including "how to" manuals, a national public interest events calendar, and discussion boards. Because the law school is a member of Equal Justice Works, its students can access that content.

The Equal Justice Works website is at www.equaljusticeworks.org. To access the members-only content, you will need to specify the law school you attend and that school’s password. You can get the password from Debbi Myers in the CSO, or you can submit a request on the website for Equal Justice Works to send you the password.
