EJW 2018 FELLOWSHIP [DEADLINE: SEPT. 27, 2017]

Veterans, immigrants, low-wage workers, tenants: many communities throughout the country face systemic injustices, yet few are fully equipped to fight back. Through funding, training, and support, Equal Justice Works (EJW) Fellowships empower emerging public interest attorneys to tackle such issues on behalf of their communities. Fellows design their own projects, allowing them to jump-start sustainable public interest careers while addressing the issues they deem most pressing.

EJW Fellows create innovative solutions. This could mean aiding refugees seeking new homes, helping children and families secure healthcare, combating youth homelessness, or tackling any number of other important issues. No matter the issue one is addressing, to be an EJW Fellow is to be the solution.

This year, we are accepting applications in any issue area for the 2018 Fellowship class. The application process is competitive, and we want to ensure candidates stay on track to submit top-tier proposals, every step of the way. For best results, we encourage Fellowship applicants to attend an informational webinar prior to submitting an application. All sessions will occur from 3-4 P.M. EST on JULY 11, JULY 26, AUG. 8, or AUG. 23. Register here.

Who: 3Ls and recent graduates
