Children's Justice Project (CJP)

The Children's Justice Project (CJP) was founded in the spring of 2002 by three law students, Sarah Helvey, Hannah Renfro, and Notesong Srisopark Thompson.  Their mission was to promote justice for children through interdisciplinary teaching, scholarship and service.  Sarah, Hannah and Notesong established CJP as a dynamic student organization that contributed to the law student community by hosting speakers, sending students to national conferences, and establishing a successful fellowship program for students doing legal work on behalf of children.  Since its founding, CJP has grown stronger every year.

Congratulations to the 2010 Fellowship Recipients!

One of CJP's greatest accomplishments is its summer fellowship program, which was made possible in 2003 with an initial award of $3000 from the American Academy of Matrimonial Attorneys, matched by the UW Law School.  The program has been further sustained with funding from a generous donor, Attorney Clark Smith and other private donors, including Foley and Lardner.  The Fellowship Program provides funding to students who take unpaid summer internships that focus on children's law.  Students compete for a fellowship through an application and interview process and recipients receive up to $5,000 to fund their summer internships. 

The 2010 Fellowship Recipients are:

Jennifer Montilla  & Laura Buchs
