For Your Information...

In 2009, Equal Justice America launched its Pennsylvanians for Equal Justice campaign to greatly increase legal services to the poor by creating new postgraduate, summer and school year fellowships, putting more law students to work with Pennsylvania legal aid organizations.

The following law students have received fellowships from Equal Justice America to work in Pennsylvania on behalf of the poor.  Your support will help us continue and expand our program in Pennsylvania.   We need your help!
