ABF/JPB Access to Justice Research Initiative Early Career Workshop

About this program

American Bar Foundation, in partnership with the JPB Foundation, sponsors the ABF/JPB Access to Justice Research Initiative Early Career Workshop to cultivate scholarship on access to civil legal services and justice system equity. The workshop provides intensive mentoring, peer review, and methodological support to help early-career researchers advance empirical and policy-relevant projects in access-to-justice research. Applicants are typically early-career academics or advanced doctoral candidates working on access-to-justice topics and must submit a competitive application—usually including a CV, abstract or draft paper, and project proposal.
