Your financial support will enable The Institute to make the dream of equality and justice in the American workplace a reality for everyone. The Institute's initiatives are designed to ensure that individuals who are subjected to unjust treatment in the workplace have effective legal representation and access to the civil justice system. Our projects and activities include: - A National Litigation Strategy Project devoted to combating inequality and injustice in the workplace;
- The Paul H. Tobias Attorney Fellowship Program, which offers a new lawyer who embodies the tireless spirit of NELA's Founder Paul Tobias in championing the rights of individual employees the opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects at The Institute;
- The Employee Rights Advocacy Fellowship Program, which provides law students and new lawyers the opportunity to work in private plaintiff's employment law firms across the country, thereby cultivating the next generation of employee rights advocates;
- The Employee Rights Advocacy Scholarship Program, which enables public interest, legal services and private lawyers who otherwise could not afford to attend NELA's renowned continuing legal educational programs to do so;
- Development of direct service educational programs and publications for underserved
constituencies; - Public education relating to eliminating mandatory arbitration of employment claims, abolishing the employment at-will doctrine, ensuring a fair and independent judiciary, and other workers' rights issues; and
- Non-partisan research and development of important issues affecting the American
workplace.
