The Equal Justice Works National Advisory Committee (NAC) provides leadership, advice and outreach assistance to advance Equal Justice Works’ mission of mobilizing the next generation of public interest attorneys. The NAC convenes a diverse group of law students and law school professionals to act as Equal Justice Works ambassadors within the law school and legal services communities and assist with the implementation of initiatives.
 
 
 
The NAC is comprised of eight law students and eight law school professionals. All 16 members serve staggered two-year terms. Equal Justice Works seeks six law school professionals committed to public interest and social justice issues to serve two-year terms (July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2019).
 
 
 
The NAC meets in person one time per year and participates in several conference calls throughout the year. The 2017 NAC Annual Meeting will be held in Washington, D.C. on Friday, July 28. All applicants must be available to attend this in-person meeting of the Committee. Reasonable travel and lodging costs for the NAC meeting are reimbursed by Equal Justice Works.
