OUR FOUNDING
Fighting For Fairness emerged from our experiences applying to law school and helping others do the same. After tutoring primarily low-income applicants at elleSAT, Justine and Brad noticed parallels with their students: many tutees needed assistance filling in the knowledge gaps left from previously unsuccessful tutoring methods, wasting time and money they didn’t have. In May 2022, they conceptualized Fighting For Fairness’ holistic, three-pronged approach to best serve low-income law school applicants. We’ve carefully selected a team with experience in the application process, with all of us united behind our organization’s goals.
OUR OFFICERS

After a month of living out of his car at a gas station, begging for food, he joined the Army, serving six years total, with over two years in the 75th Ranger Regiment. Once his enlistment ended, he utilized the G.I. Bill to pay for his tuition at Dartmouth College in conjunction with a scholarship from the Posse Foundation. After scoring a 172 on the LSAT, Brad focused on helping low-income students achieve their dream LSAT score by offering free or low-cost tutoring. He continues to provide mentorship and application consulting for veterans with Service to School. In his spare time at Harvard Law School, he is a student contributor to Lawfare.
