Fellowship: One of SJLFs two core missions is the fellowship program, which provides two years of intensive litigation training to recent law school graduates committed to working in civil rights. In September 2023, we welcomed three new fellows to our second fellowship cohort, and we were able to cover their moving expenses and bar fees. The fellows have since joined our cases, working underthe supervision of our senior staff attorneys and executive director to draft memoranda and briefs, research legal issues, and contribute to our community outreach and advocacy. After completing their first six months of training, our fellows begin developing their own investigations and building their own civil rights cases with the help of our team.2. Impact Litigation: SJLF's other core mission is to develop precedent-setting litigation to advance social justice. Our first docket of cases includes five major pieces of litigation, including two police misconduct cases with the ACLU of Louisianas Justice Lab and the Southern Poverty Law Center; one case in state court in Southern California that seeks to ease the burden of homelessness and reducethe punitive fines and fees associated with it; one major class-action case in federal court in Southern California that seeks to hold accountable a private prison and detention center operator that systematically poisoned immigrant detainees; and one case with the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Knight First Amendment Institute in Northern California that aims to have San Mateo County reverse its policy of digitizing and destroying inmate mail. We also contribute to the work ofcoalitions that seek to hold accountable the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department and ease the economic burden of civil assessments on people who are indigent and interact with the court system. 1031677 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 17 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 5 true false false false false true false true true false false true true true false false false true true false CA X Marshall Camp 2137884830 523 West 6th Street Ste 450 Los Angeles CA 90014 Shubhra Shivpuri til 1023 Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 159574 0 10651 Maria del Pilar Gonzalez Morales Dir Advcy til11/23 40.00 0.00 146291 0 6945 Vanessa Domenichelli Sr. Attorney 40.00 0.00 113616 0 9630 John Hueston Chairman/Dir 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Marshall Camp Treasurer/Dir 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Moez Kaba Secretary/Dir 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Brian Hennigan Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Vicki Chou Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 419481 27226 3 false true false 0 1417939 1417939 Legal Aid 541100 56067 56067 56067 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1474006 56067 1000 1000 0 0 0 170225 148096 22129 0 651718 566994 84724 39623 34472 5151 36429 31693 4736 66567 57913 8654 0 8222 8222 5240 5240 0 0 0 14777 14777 5022 5022 11482 10055 1427 0 0 62523 54395 8128 9165 9165 0 38388 34247 4141 0 0 2391 2391 21005 21005 Communication 29282 25475 3807 Books & Subscriptions 23534 20475 3059 Dues & Memberships 8049 8049 Court Filings 3351 3351 7416 6498 918 1215409 1031677 183732 0 351090 583605 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11007 5642 7172 4115 5448 3057 0 0 0 0 0 367545 592304 51910 18072 51910 18072 X 315635 574232 315635 574232 367545 592304 258597 X false false false X 523000 1177862 1417939 3118801 0 0 523000 1177862 1417939 3118801 2878234 240567 0 0 0 3118801 56067 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 1244179 1244179 199418 49855 false 75747 175702 199418 450867 676301 18937 43926 49855 112718 169077 7172 4115 3057 3057 X X false false false false false false false false false Maria del Pilar Gonzalez Morales Dir Advcy til11/23 146291 6945 153236 Shubhra Shivpuri til 1023 Executive Dir. 159574 10651 170225 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 All officers of the Foundation have a business relationship with each other.
