While it’s easy for law students to slip into the throes of self-interested peer-to-peer competition, for grades, clerkships, and other “leg ups”, Miguel Willis was not going to wait until graduation to make a difference for others. As a 2L at Seattle University School of Law, he founded the Access to Justice Tech Fellows Program, work he continues to this day in his role as the Law School Admission Council (LSAC)’s first Presidential Innovation Fellow. The summer fellowship trains law students across the country on how to transform technological innovations into concrete legal services that benefit the public. ATJ Tech Fellows also hosts a Justice Innovation Challenge which seeks “community centered solutions that utilize digital technology, user-centered design, and/or data informed decision making in addressing the gap in legal services.”
