The National Equal Justice Library (NEJL), housed at Georgetown University Law Center’s Law Library, is a repository of archival papers, oral histories, photos and memorabilia about the history of civil legal aid and indigent criminal defense in the United States. The NEJL was created to preserve the rich history of civil legal aid and public defense work in America, and it continues to be an invaluable resource to lawyers, client advocates, law students, researchers, journalists, and others interested in the delivery of legal services to the poor.
