“Equal Justice University” (EJU) is the annual gathering of approximately 200 advocates, professionals, law students, and legal aid and pro bono attorneys interested in supporting civil legal assistance for low-income Tennesseans.

EJU provides a unique opportunity for the advocacy community to gain up to 15 Continuing Legal Education hours or a full day of Social Work CEU credits at a single conference. The EJU experience also offers networking opportunities and events, which refresh ones’ commitment to equal access to justice in Tennessee and  introduces new advocates and students to this important mission. Additionally, we are proud to announce that this years’ EJU keynote speaker is the Legal Services Corporation’s President James Sandman <http://www.lsc.gov/about/sandman.php> .
