About EJF at the University of Georgia
The Equal Justice Foundation (EJF), founded in 1987, is a student run organization devoted to the promotion of public interest law. EJF’s mission is to provide stipends for summer law clerks who have chosen to work in unpaid, public interest positions. Public interest law is not a lucrative field, and students who pay the high cost of legal education need financial support. By the students for the students, EJF strives each year to raise more money than the last-- so that more students can use their law degrees for the public good. EJF’s mission is to:
- •Raise money for stipends and distribute the funds to public interest law students in a fair manner,
- •Provide networking opportunities for students interested in public interest law careers, and
- •Promote the viability of public interest law careers at UGA by our fundraising efforts and supporting other public interest organizations at the University of Georgia School of Law.
Past recipients of EJF fellowships have interned at the ACLU, Southern Environmental Law Center, and the International Justice Office; as well as various public defenders offices, poverty law centers, and international human rights organizations both locally and throughout the world. As a result, law students gain vital experience in public interest law, later to become advocates for social justice.
