The New Jersey Institute for Social Justice is a Newark-based non-partisan research and advocacy organization dedicated to the advancement of New Jersey's urban areas and residents. NJISJ pursues its agenda through policy-related research and analysis, development and implementation of model programs, wide-ranging advocacy efforts, operational partnerships with government and public education. Established six years ago by Alan Lowenstein, co-founder of Lowenstein Sandler PC, the Institute is committed to challenging barriers that prevent urban areas and residents from reaching their full potential. Called a "social justice think and do tank" by a national foundation, the Institute focuses primarily on expanding economic opportunity, promoting regional equity, and encouraging criminal and juvenile justice reform.
