* UC Davis is not yet on the approved law schools list.
Equal Justice America is pleased to offer fellowships of up to $4,000 to students at the law schools listed below who work full-time during Summer 2008 for organizations providing direct civil legal assistance for the poor.
bullet Students must secure a full-time (minimum 35-40 hours per week) placement for Summer 2008 working at least 10 weeks for a legal services organization.
TO APPLY: APPLICANTS MUST SEND A COVER LETTER DESCRIBING THEIR COMMITMENT AND INTEREST IN PROVIDING LEGAL SERVICES TO THE POOR, A RESUME, TWO LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION AND AN EMPLOYMENT CONFIRMATION LETTER FROM THE HIRING ORGANIZATION TO EQUAL JUSTICE AMERICA AT THE ABOVE ADDRESS. ALL REQUIRED ITEMS MUST BE SENT TOGETHER.
Summer fellowships may take place anywhere in the United States, provided that the hiring organization is a non-profit organization providing direct civil legal services to the poor.
Students are encouraged to apply for Work-Study funding, if available, to be used in conjunction with an Equal Justice America Summer 2008 Fellowship. Generally, students getting Work-Study receive a higher overall amount for the summer. If the Work-Study total is less than $4,000, Equal Justice America will make up the difference. Students should note whether or not they are eligible for Work-Study in the cover letter of their application.
All applications must be postmarked no later than March 24, 2008. Awards will be announced by email by April 21, 2008. Please send your completed application to Equal Justice America at the address above.
