Equal Justice Works Announces Update to 2022 Conference and Career Fair

Equal Justice Works Announces Update to 2022 Conference and Career Fair Each fall, Equal Justice Works hosts its annual Conference and Career Fair, the largest national public interest legal career fair that brings together hundreds of law students, recent graduates, public interest employers, law school faculty and staff, and public interest practitioners from across the United States and its territories for prescheduled interviews, informal “table talk” discussions, networking opportunities, and panel sessions on contemporary public interest topics. This year, we are excited to announce a new format for the 2022 Conference and Career Fair that will ensure greater accessibility and inclusivity for our attendees. For the first time, Equal Justice Works will split up the event, with the conference and career fair portions taking place over two separate dates: Virtual Conference: September 21 – 23, 2022 Virtual Career Fair: October 20 -22, 2022 Both parts of the event will be held virtually and will require a single registration. Please review our May 24 news article for additional information regarding this decision. You can also reach out to [email protected] with any questions.
