Public Interest Law Project
About PILP
In 1990, Lewis & Clark law students founded the Public Interest Law Project (PILP) to encourage law students to pursue public interest careers. We have two primary goals:
- To provide students with summer public interest stipends; and
- to provide continuing support to our graduate Public Interest Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP).
Our annual auction and other fundraising efforts allow PILP to pursue its goals. PILP Summer Stipends have helped students work on a variety of public interest issues, including children’s rights, environmental protection, domestic violence, and civil rights.
