Each year the Equal Justice Works National Advisory Committee presents eight law students throughout the country with a Regional Public Interest Award. Chosen for their innovation, impact, and commitment to public interest law, each of the students selected is recognized for providing extraordinary service through clinics, volunteer work, internships, and more. Recipients of the Regional Public Interest Awards will receive a $250 cash prize and commemorative plaque.
To apply for this award, please complete and submit the application form. As part of your application you will be asked to provide a personal statement describing your commitment to public interest law through the work you have done both on and off campus.
The application will close on April 10, 2023 and winners will be notified of their selection by April 30, 2023. You can reach out to our team with any questions at students@equaljusticeworks.org.
