Cultivating the Next Generation of Justice Leaders

With generous support from local and national organizations, SLLS hosts innovative Fellowship projects to
respond to urgent community needs. The New Orleans Bar Association and the New Orleans Bar
Foundation currently fund a Veterans Justice Fellowship to address unmet legal needs of vulnerable
veterans. Two Tulane Law School Lutz Fellows and a Loyola Law Schools Gills Long Social Justice
Fellow are helping address the urgent needs of domestic violence victims and abused children. A new LBF
Child Welfare Fellowship provides resources to help SLLS represent abused/neglected children and their
special education needs. Borchard and Berkeley Foundation Fellowships enable SLLS to fight for
housing justice for seniors and people with re-entry issues.
