We are awarding a $10,000 scholarship to a newly-licensed attorney committed to strengthening families, improving justice access, and practicing law in ways that improve lives.
We explicitly broaden 'public interest law' to include traditional nonprofit/government paths, family law service to vulnerable families, estate planning for stability, helping pro se litigants, mediation and informal resolution, limited-scope access, and meaningful support to underserved populations. If your work makes justice more human, you are part of public-interest law.
"What does public-interest law mean to you, or what should our justice system do better?"
