For Your Information…

The New York University law students listed below have received fellowships from Equal Justice America.  These fellowships are made possible by contributions from New York University law alumni.  With continued support from the alumni, we look forward to putting many more New York University law students to work providing vitally needed legal assistance to the poor.  We need your help!

NYU now guarantees funding to first and second year law students pursuing summer public interest internships.  Equal Justice America will provide supplemental funding to these students and will continue to provide fall and spring fellowships to NYU students.

Equal Justice America has recently awarded a two-year $80,000 Legal Services Fellowship to a graduating NYU law student, which will begin in September 2008.

(Equal Justice America is an independent non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation unaffiliated with any law school.)
