School Justice Project Inc

The School Justice Project (SJP) is a legal services and advocacy organization based in Washington, DC, dedicated to supporting older students with special education needs who are involved in the juvenile and criminal legal systems. Through direct representation and systemic advocacy, SJP works to empower these students by informing them of their rights, facilitating successful reentry into their communities, and promoting equitable collaboration between education and justice systems.

In addition to providing legal training and outreach, SJP focuses on addressing the barriers that court-involved youth face in accessing education. Their impactful work has resulted in significant achievements, including high rates of school enrollment and re-enrollment, recovery of lost educational credits, and the awarding of compensatory education services, primarily benefiting Black and Latinx youth within the DC area.
