Equal Justice Works Stipend Application due June 1
For purposes of the Equal Justice Works Summer Stipend, “public interest
law” is defined as working to represent the public by addressing the needs of
people, groups, or causes not easily or effectively afforded traditional access
to the justice system. This includes a multitude of different types of
governmental, legal aid, and not-for-profit entities and opportunities.
Students working in non-paid or low-paying public interest legal positions for
the Summer are invited to apply for this financial assistance. Direct service,
impact work, and public policy projects are all eligible for the EJW Summer
Stipend as long as the student will be working under the supervision of an
attorney. Employers can include non-profit or governmental organizations,
however these grants cannot be used to fund judicial clerkships or any work for
which you are receiving academic credit from Stetson or any other institution.
You must have already received a job offer before applying for the stipend.
