REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM (RJFP) 
In 2010, LSRJ launched the Reproductive Justice Fellowship Program (RJFP) as a means to enhance the capacity of organizations working to influence law and policy as it relates to reproductive justice and to build a pipeline for future reproductive justice lawyers. The RJFP provides new lawyers with entry points and professional development opportunities in reproductive justice law and policy advocacy. LSRJ has now successfully selected and placed six classes of Reproductive Justice (RJ) fellows at non-profit organizations with offices in Washington D.C.

As a law school graduate with an understanding of the reproductive justice framework, the RJ Fellow will assist in research, interpretation, and application of law to aid the placement organization’s organizing, publication, and policy pursuits.
