Loan Repayment Assistance for Prosecutors and Public Defenders

The John R. Justice Student Loan Repayment Program (JRJ) will provide 10 million dollars in loan repayment assistance to state and federal public defenders and state prosecutors who agree to remain employed as public defenders and prosecutors for at least three years.

Equal Justice Works has estableshed a JRJ webpage, which will be updated as information becomes available. Two webinars have been scheduled to help prosecutors and defenders interested in the program.
