Leadership in the Equal Justice Community

Washington State Bar Association

The Washington State Bar Association (WSBA) offers a variety of leadership opportunities for students. Law students are welcome to join any of the Washington Young Lawyers Division’s committees which include the Public Service/Pro Bono Committee. Law students can also get involved with the various WSBA task forces and sections.

Washington State Access to Justice Board

Students interested in social justice should know about our local leaders who serve on the Washington Access to Justice (ATJ) Board. The ATJ Board accomplishes much of its work through its many committees, including the Impediments to Access to Justice Committee, the Law School Relations Committee, and the Access to Technology Committee. There are many opportunities for students to get involved with the work of the Board and these committees. If you are interested in getting involved, please contact us at atji@seattleu.edu.

Equal Justice Works

Nationally, students can get involved by serving on boards like the Equal Justice Works National Advisory Committee. The National Advisory Committee provides a vehicle through which students and professionals at Equal Justice Works member law schools, which include Seattle University School of Law, can guide and advance the organization’s goal of having students develop a lifelong commitment to working on behalf of underrepresented individuals, communities and causes.
