Celebrating 25 Years of Working Toward Equal Justice for All 1

On behalf of Equal Justice Works and our partners, welcome to the 2011 Equal Justice Works Conference and Career Fair.

Ever since we were founded in 1986, we have happily watched the demand for public interest law curricula, loan repayment assistance programs (LRAPs) and opportunities grow on campuses as more and more students expressed their desire to help communities that need it most. Our first career fair in 1988 attracted just a few hundred students from approximately 70 law schools. This year, a record 2,500 students from our 200 member law schools have registered for our event!

Today, as we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the founding of Equal Justice Works, public interest law is facing difficult challenges. Poverty is up, the justice gap is growing, legal aid and public defender budgets are shrinking, and the job market is weak. On top of that, the level of educational debt is growing, causing financial constraints that make it even more difficult for students to consider public interest careers.

Now, more than ever, Equal Justice Works is determined to help students interested in public interest careers pursue their dreams. The Conference and Career Fair can provide you with some of the tools you will need to succeed, so take advantage of the offerings.

• AttendthePlenarytohearaconversationbetweentwoofthetoplawyersinthenation–U.S.SolicitorGeneralDonVerrilliandU.S.JudgeDavidTateloftheD.C.Circuit–abouttheirpublicinterestexperiences.

Fellowship programs, and the opportunities they provide for hands-on public interest law experience.

Perhaps most importantly, network with your peers, learn what they are doing on their campuses and what opportunities they may have to share.

I want to thank the faculty and staff from our member law schools who continue to work with us to spread the word about public interest opportunities. Without their help and support, our Conference and Career Fair would not be possible.

Thank you for joining us. This conference is for and about you—the next generation of public interest lawyers and leaders. When you return to your campus, we hope you will keep in touch on Facebook and Twitter so you can stay informed of the latest developments in public interest law.

Sincerely,

DavidSternExecutive DirectorEqual Justice Works

2011 - 2012 MEMBER LAW SCHOOLS ABOUT EQUAL JUSTICE WORKS

The mission of Equal Justice Works is to create a just society by mobilizing the next generation of lawyers committed to equal justice.

We provide leadership to ensure a sustainable pipeline of talented and trained lawyers involved in public service. Equal Justice Works provides a continuum of programs that begin with incoming law school students and extend into later careers in the profession. We provide the nation’sleadingpublicinterestlawfellowshipprogramand offer more postgraduate, full-time legal positions in public service than any other organization.

For 25 years, Equal Justice Works has collaborated with thenation’sleadinglawschools,lawfirms,corporatelegal departments and nonprofit organizations to provide the training and skills that enable attorneys to provide effectiverepresentationtovulnerablepopulations.We:

• Helplawschoolsestablishandstrengthenpublicinterestprograms;

• Providepublicserviceworkexperience,professionaldevelopmentandtrainingforstudentsandlawyers;and

• Buildstrongsupportinthelegalprofessionforpublicservice through pro bono work and financial support.

CONTINUUM OF OPPORTUNITYThe Equal Justice Works AmeriCorps Fellowship Program is one of the most productive and highly regarded national service programs in the nation. This AmeriCorps program makes a lasting impact on the communities it serves by facilitating pro bono opportunities and expanding the legal resources in low-income and underserved communities.

The Equal Justice Works Summer Corps Program is another AmeriCorps program that provides law students with the opportunity to dedicate their summer to public service at qualifying nonprofit and public interest legal organizations.

The Equal Justice Works Fellowship Program is the largest postgraduate legal fellowship program in the nation and creates partnerships among public interest lawyers, nonprofitorganizations,lawfirm/corporatesponsorsand other donors in order to afford underrepresented populations effective access to the justice system.

The Public Defender Corps is a new initiative launched in partnershipwiththeSouthernPublicDefenderTrainingCenter(SPDTC)tocombatthegrowingproblemofunderfunded and understaffed Public Defender Offices.

Offering an alternative to traditional rankings, The Equal Justice Works Guide to Law Schools is structured so that schools can highlight their clinics, externships, career services, affordability, financial aid and public service programs.

Our annual Equal Justice Works Conference and Career Fair attracts thousands of students and lawyers exploring career options with leading nonprofit organizations as well as federal government agencies.

Equal Justice Works has taken a leadership role in educating students and their advisors on the provisions of the College Cost Reduction and Access Act and other programs that provide educational debt relief to students pursuing careers in the public sector.
