The Justice Center works closely with students through many programs and, in particular, our Student Advisory Board. The board is composed of recipients of the Equal Justice, G. Rollie White, and Public Service Scholarships. Its purpose is to provide the Justice Center with insight into the experiences of students pursuing public service and public interest law; to facilitate communication between the Justice Center, students, and student organizations with a public interest focus; and to continue to build the Law School’s public interest community and culture of service.

The board meets with Justice Center staff four to five times each semester. At board meetings, scholars provide input on Justice Center programs and initiatives, work on committee projects, and share student organization updates. In past years, members of the board have suggested and worked with Justice Center staff to implement a number of initiatives, such as planning the first winter break pro bono trips, hosting the Justice Center’s annual open house, creating programing on public service loan forgiveness, and strengthening student ties to public-interest alumni.
