Public Interest Law Group (PILG)

Public Interest Law Group (PILG) is a student organization which serves three major functions. First, the organization raises grant funds which are allocated among students pursuing public interest summer jobs. The second function of the organization is to sponsor speakers and/or debates on numerous public-interest-related topics. The third function affords students an opportunity to get involved outside the Law School itself. Through numerous community activities such as a food drive, soup-kitchen volunteering, and legal aid volunteer services, it encourages students to step outside the books and examine some current problems in the area.
