Access to Justice Fellows Program

The Access to Justice Fellows Program, in partnership with the Supreme Judicial Court Access to Justice Commission, pairs retired lawyers and judges with legal services offices and nonprofit organizations for one year fellowships to increase equal justice for all. The program has been very successful - 80% of Fellows who began during the first year of the program in 2012 are still working together. Now in its tenth year, the program recruited 16 Fellows in 2021 who are working on a wide range of matters and innovative projects. Each year the program facilitates the donation of thousands of hours of pro bono service.
