About EJF
Mission Statement
The Equal Justice Foundation (EJF) provides scholarships to Washington College of Law students who have obtained unpaid summer positions with public interest organizations in the United States and abroad. EJF enables WCL students to gain valuable experience in the public interest sector, while providing critical services to underrepresented members of our communities.
General Information
Established at American University, Washington College of Law in 1989, EJF is a non-profit, student run organization. Throughout the school year, EJF raises money and collects donations from students, faculty, staff, and the business community to fund grants for WCL students who have secured positions with public interest organizations and demonstrated a committment to the Equal Justice Foundation. All proceeds are directly distributed to WCL students; no money is used for overhead.
Now in its seventeenth year at WCL, EJF has awarded more than 250 fellowships through the increased support of the greater WCL community, and largely funded by the annual Public Interest Charity Auction.
Last year, EJF raised more than $46,000 at the auction. Matching gifts from the administration and other fundraising events made for a combined total of $120,000, enabling 40 students to receive summer stipends. Click here for descriptions of some of the work undertaken by the Summer 2006 EJF Fellows. Descriptions of the Summer 2007 EJF Fellows are coming soon.
This year, EJF will host the 15th Annual Public Interest Charity Auction on Thursday, March 20, 2008. With continued community support, the organization hopes to raise enough funds to ensure that no WCL student will be financially constrained from working in the public interest legal sector.
