MJF strives for justice by creating opportunities for law students to perform public interest and pro bono legal services. Social Justice We recognize that many people in our society are unable to protect their rights and to obtain justice due to their inability to afford legal services. Professional Responsibility We believe that it is a privilege to be trained in the law, and that it is the duty of law students and lawyers to exercise the privilege in service to the community. Inspiration We seek to instill in law students, and in all lawyers, an ethic of providing high quality public interest and pro bono legal services. Integrity We uphold high ethical standards and vigilantly protect MJF's role as an honest broker of public interest and pro bono opportunities among law students, law schools, public interest agencies, and law firms. Autonomy MJF was founded by law students and derives its energy and direction from students. We value MJF's autonomy from any particular law school, its administration, and its faculty and from any particular public interest agency.
