Students for Access to Justice
Welcome to the Students for Access to Justice Web Page!
Since March of 2004, our program has sought to develop a sustaining culture of commitment to public service that is widely embraced by the law school community, practicing lawyers, and the judiciary. Our goal is to connect students with qualified volunteer placement opportunities which confer valuable and competent legal services to those in need while providing intrinsically rewarding professional work experiences. Thank you for your interest in our program!
