Potential Funding in Florida for 2011 EJW Fellowships

The EJW Fellowship Program provides financial and other forms of support to lawyers working on innovative legal projects throughout the U.S. The two-year Fellowship offers salary support (up to $39,000 annually), loan repayment assistance, and a national training and leadership development program.

EJW recruits law firms, corporations, bar associations, foundations and individuals to fund most of their Fellowships. EJW refers to these funding partners as "sponsors."

This year, they have sponsor interest in Florida.

EJW strongly encourages any candidates interested in working in Florida for two years beginning next fall to consider submitting an application this fall.

More information and the 2011 EJW Fellowships application is now available at www.equaljusticeworks.org/programs/fellowships/.

The application deadline is September 15, 2010, at 5:00 p.m. EDT.
If you have any questions, please email fellowships@equaljusticeworks.org or call 202.466.3686 x202.
