About Brooklyn Law If/When/How: Lawyering for Reproductive Justice

Based in Brooklyn, NY, this organization embodies the law school's 124-year legacy of empowering lawyers to advance social justice and champion the rights of underserved communities.
Since its founding in 1901, Brooklyn Law School has been committed to diversity and inclusion, recognizing that legal education must serve broader societal needs. If/When/How carries forward this tradition by bringing together law students dedicated to reproductive justice—a critical area of public interest law that intersects with constitutional rights, gender equality, and access to healthcare.
The organization operates within a vibrant community of scholars, practitioners, and advocates. Brooklyn Law School's nationally recognized faculty includes leaders in criminal law, constitutional law, and public service whose work has influenced legal fields and law reform efforts across the country. These faculty members provide intellectual guidance and mentorship to students engaged in If/When/How's mission.
Brookly Law School's extensive alumni network of more than 24,000 graduates spans the United States, U.S. territories, and 50 countries, working across business, private practice, government, nonprofits, and public interest sectors. This global network creates connections and opportunities for If/When/How members to engage with experienced lawyers committed to reproductive justice advocacy.
Located in Downtown Brooklyn's vibrant neighborhood, the law school provides an ideal setting for students pursuing public interest work. If/When/How members benefit from the school's comprehensive clinical programs, academic centers hosting leading experts, and fellowship opportunities that enrich the learning environment and prepare students to make meaningful contributions to reproductive rights advocacy and legal reform.
