Come learn about Equal Justice Works’ public interest programs and initiatives. Equal Justice Works’ senior program manager Charlene Gomes will discuss both summer and postgraduate opportunities with Equal Justice Works and options for relieving educational debt after you graduate.
The Equal Justice Works Summer Corps Program provides financial support for law students who dedicate their summer to providing critically needed legal assistance in low-income and underserved communities. Summer Corps members are awarded a $1,132 Americorps Education voucher for their service.
The Equal Justice Works AmeriCorps Legal Fellows Program places fellows in one- or two-year fellowships at host organizations around the country. Fellows play a critical role in securing affordable housing, lost wages, orders of protection, health care, public benefits and education for low-income and underserved communities.
The Equal Justice Works Postgraduate Fellowship Program provides financial and technical support to lawyers working on innovative and effective legal projects. The two-year fellowships offer salary and generous loan repayment assistance.
The Public Defender Corps is an Equal justice Works and Southern Public Defender Training Center program that provides three-year fellowships aimed at addressing the ongoing national crisis of providing quality representation to accused persons who cannot afford counsel.
Lunch will be provided. RSVP by Tuesday, March 1, on UT Law Symplicity by selecting the “Events” tab.
