Advancing a Legacy of Justice

The John Paul Stevens Foundation is dedicated to promoting public interest and social justice values in the next generation of American lawyers. Through the Justice John Paul Stevens Public Interest Fellowship Program, the Foundation supports law students who spend the summer working in public interest law internships. The Fellowship Program reflects Justice Stevens’ deep belief that a dynamic and effective justice system depends on a cadre of trained and committed lawyers doing public interest work.

Make an investment today in equality, access to justice & rule of law!

Without the Justice John Paul Stevens Fellowship, I would not have had the support needed to embark upon my public interest career, through which I’ve been able to help thousands of foster children achieve their educational goals.

The Fellowship made it possible for me to take the internship that then set me on the pathway of non-profit, mission-driven work I continue to do today. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunity then and to continue to be part of the community now.

2015 Stevens Fellow
As a first-generation college graduate, my Stevens Fellowship placement was vital to helping me define my professional path in law. My Fellowship cemented my commitment to return to my Nuevomexicano community to provide much-needed legal aid and advocacy in what would otherwise be one of America’s many legal deserts.

Being a Stevens Fellow allowed me to stay true to my commitment to public interest as a law student, and expand legal access to communities who cannot afford representation.
