School Justice Project

School Justice Project (SJP) is a legal services and advocacy organization serving older students with special education needs who are involved in DC's juvenile and criminal legal systems. SJP uses special education law to ensure that older, court-involved students with disabilities can access a quality education.

SJP's special education attorneys work with their clients to protect and enforce special education rights. Through our individual representation and systemic advocacy programs, we aim to spark a system-wide overhaul, changing the educational landscape for older court-involved students with special education needs who are involved in DC's juvenile and criminal legal systems.
