Equal Justice Under Law is a national civil rights nonprofit focused on reducing wealth-based disparities within the U.S. justice system. The organization works through litigation and policy reform to address inequities that arise from differences in wealth, aiming to ensure that legal outcomes do not depend on a person’s financial status. Since its founding in 2014, it has pursued more than 30 cases across 14 states, with the majority resulting in settlements, and it has influenced policy changes in multiple states and at the District of Columbia level. Based in Washington, DC, the group operates within the law practice landscape to challenge systemic inequalities and promote equal treatment under the law. The organization’s efforts are aimed at dismantling two-tier justice by tackling wealth-based discrimination and contributing to broader reforms at state and regional levels.
