Public Interest Law Students Association (PILSA)

Public Interest Law Students Association (PILSA) is to be an inclusive organization - inclusive of all students who express curiosity about public interest as well as all fields/aspects of this realm of law. This broad legal area is about helping those who need it most; protecting victims’ rights and serving the State; advocating for children, veterans, survivors of attacks and trauma, elderly and/or disabled citizens, policies to the benefit of society’s vulnerable, and the environment; working within government to protect the integrity and accessibility of state and federal laws; and championing the ideal of Equal Justice Under Law. Students face great opportunities throughout school to serve in the public interest and it is the intent of PILSA to help inspire, educate, and equip graduates to utilize their legal skills and passions to work towards a more just and equitable society for all.
