The Public Interest Law Foundation (PILF) is a student organization dedicated to providing public interest law opportunities to students at Boston College Law School. These opportunities including funding student projects, sponsoring speakers throughout the year, and providing students with PILF Summer Stipends so that they can take unpaid positions at legal aid, non-profit and other public interest law organizations after their first and second year's of law. PILF holds an Annual Auction as the major fundraiser for the Summer Stipends. In addition, PILF takes donations directly from students through its Work-A-Day program, as well as matching gifts from legal employers. PILF also holds several other fundraisers throughout the school year. PILF also works with Boston College Law School to encourage the addition of public interest classes, provide loan repayment to graduates practicing public interest law and to create a community of support for students interested in public interest law regardless of their ultimate career choice. PILF members also regularly attend the Annual Boston College Law Public Interest Law Retreat and the Equal Justice Works Annual Conference and Job Fair. One of PILF's greatest strengths is its many different student projects that provide practical legal experience, sponsor speakers and provide community education. These projects are regularly started by students who see a pressing public interest currently not addressed by current student organizations, and then tend to eventually become their own student organization. If you are interested in getting involved in PILF or any of its projects, please contact us.
