The Public Interest Law Association (PILA) coordinates and encourages UR law students' efforts in the public interest.
Our largest program is providing summer fellowships for 1st and 2nd year students to work in public interest organizations.
PILA works with the Dean's office in coordinating the Pro Bono Publico certification program (based on hours of public service while at UR law), and schedules service and educational programs throughout the year.
We also sponsor speakers who offer their experience in the field of public
interest work.
