Soros Justice Fellowships – application deadline 9/22/04

The Soros Justice Fellowships support outstanding individuals who will advance the criminal justice priorities of OSI’s U.S. Justice Fund. These priorities include reducing the nation’s overreliance on policies of punishment and incarceration, eliminating race and class disparities in the U.S. criminal justice system and restoring judicial discretion, and encouraging the successful resettlement of people returning from prison.

Through three programs—Soros Justice Advocacy, Senior, and Media—the Soros Justice Fellowships seed innovation in criminal justice activism, lawyering, policy analysis, research, scholarship and media coverage.
