Our Aron Fellowship Program, named after our iconic founder, will fund fellows at progressive organizations, particularly those that represent historically exploited, marginalized, or disadvantaged communities. This means that the organization itself can directly engage in the fight for a fair judiciary and will embed the importance of the courts in communities and movements directly affected by the judiciary. 

Our Judicial Legacies Program will host meetings for former law clerks of judges AFJ substantially supported during their confirmation hearings. Those law clerks will be our new vanguard, helping us to lead the movement fighting for a fairer, more progressive judiciary in this new century. We estimate that there are nearly 2,000 former and current law clerks who have gone on to fight for the disfavored, disadvantaged, and exploited in courtrooms throughout the nation. They’re the ones that we’ve been waiting for.
