3L Awarded Fellowship to Fight Homelessness

Equal Justice Works (EJW) has awarded 3L Maxwell Tipping with a fellowship that will allow him to spend the next two years working for The Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless. EJW only accepts approximately 45-55 proposed fellowship projects per year; Mr. Tipping's will focus on improving D.C.'s rapid rehousing program. Thinking about the next two years, he says, "If I could connect these families immediately with legal assistance, way before they end up in Landlord and Tenant Court, and also change some of the way the system functions, that would be a success."
