Texas A&M University School of Law former student, Najmu Mohseen J.D. '19, is a recipient of the 2019 Equal Justice Works Fellowship, one of the most prestigious and competitive post-graduate legal fellowships in the country.

Each year, Equal Justice Works selects a class of passionate public service leaders who have designed two-year projects in partnership with legal services organizations that help build sustainable solutions in the communities where they serve. The projects are funded by the generous support of law firms, corporations, foundations, and individuals. This year, 76 new lawyers were selected from over 450 applications, with Najmu being one of them!

Najmu will be hosted by Constitutional Law Center for Muslims in America, where she will uphold the First Amendment rights of incarcerated Muslims to practice their faith by creating know-your-rights materials for detention centers, prisons. She is sponsored by Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP.
