Equal Justice Works Fellowships
The Texas Access to Justice Foundation, committed to ensuring access to
justice for the poor, partners with Equal Justice Works in the
sponsorship of innovative fellowship projects in Texas.
The Equal Justice Works Fellowships Program is the largest postgraduate legal fellowship
program in the nation. The program was launched in 1992 to address the shortage
of attorneys working on behalf of traditionally under-served populations and causes
in the United States and its territories.
In 1997, Equal Justice Works, formerly
the National Association for Public Interest Law, expanded the fellowship program
to encourage partnerships between law firms, corporations and public interest organizations
to fund fellowships. The Foundation was instrumental
in securing the law firm of Vinson & Elkins as a major fellowship sponsor.
