Fellowship: One of SJLFs two core missions is the fellowship program, whichprovides two years of intensive litigation training to recent law school graduatescommitted to working in civil rights. In September 2024, we welcomed three newfellows to our second fellowship cohort, and we were able to cover their movingexpenses and bar fees. The fellows have since joined our cases, working underthe supervision of our senior staff attorneys and executive director to draftmemoranda and briefs, research legal issues, and contribute to our community outreach and advocacy. After completing their first six months of training, our fellows begin developing their own investigations and building their own civil rights cases with the help of our team.2. Impact Litigation: SJLF's other core mission is to develop precedent-settinglitigation to advance social justice. Our first docket of cases includes five majorpieces of litigation, including two police misconduct cases with the ACLU ofLouisianas Justice Lab and the Southern Poverty Law Center; one case in state courtin Southern California that seeks to ease the burden of homelessness and reducethe punitive fines and fees associated with it; one major class-action case infederal court in Southern California that seeks to hold accountable a private prisonand detention center operator that systematically poisoned immigrant detainees; andone case with the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Knight First AmendmentInstitute in Northern California that aims to have San Mateo County reverse itspolicy of digitizing and destroying inmate mail. We also contribute to the work ofcoalitions that seek to hold accountable the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department and ease the economic burden of civil assessments on people who are indigent and interact with the court system. 1014074 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 4 0 true 10 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 5 true false false false false true false true true false false true true true false false false true true false CA X Marshall Camp 2137884830 523 West 6th Street Ste 450 Los Angeles CA 90014 Sara Haji Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 218092 0 13987 Vanessa Domenichelli Sr. Attorney 40.00 0.00 126984 0 10085 Hannah Comstock Sr. Attorney 40.00 0.00 94147 0 7573 John Hueston President/Dir 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Marshall Camp Treasurer/Dir 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Moez Kaba Secretary/Dir 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Brian Hennigan Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Vicki Chou Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 439223 31645 2 false true false 0 1385151 1385151 Legal Aid 541100 291 291 291 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Other Income 110 110 110 1385552 401 0 0 0 0 232079 197267 34812 0 546744 464732 82012 0 85008 72257 12751 56870 48340 8530 0 68231 68231 11974 10178 1796 0 0 0 5155 5155 4647 3950 697 3691 3137 554 33934 28844 5090 0 18853 16025 2828 16016 13614 2402 0 8495 8495 0 0 5453 4635 818 20471 15484 4987 Culture and Development 39322 39322 Dues & Subscriptions 17030 8979 8051 Payroll Fees 4152 3529 623 Other Fees 1216 1033 183 1020 867 153 1180361 1014074 166287 0 583605 769938 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5642 10793 13396 9568 3057 3828 0 0 0 0 0 592304 784559 18072 936 18072 936 X 574232 783623 574232 783623 592304 784559 205191 4200 X false false false X 523000 1177862 1417939 1385151 4503952 0 0 523000 1177862 1417939 1385151 4503952 2795125 1708827 0 0 0 4503952 56067 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 1180362 1180362 193036 48259 false 75747 175702 199418 193036 643903 965855 18937 43926 49855 48259 160977 241466 13396 9568 3828 3828 X X false false false false false false false false false Sara Haji Executive Dir. 218092 13987 232079 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 All officers of the Foundation have a business relationship with each other.
