The Public Interest Law Association strives to raise awareness of the needs, issues, and employment opportunities for federal and state administrative and regulatory agencies, advocacy groups, legal aid agencies, lobbyist groups, prosecution agencies, and public defenders' offices. PILA hosts an annual auction to raise money for summer internship grants for students pursuing a public interest internship. Other activities include speaker panels, networking event, volunteering opportunities, and fundraisers to benefit Boston public interest organizations. If you are interested in connecting with us to serve as a speaker on our panel, to promote internship or job opportunities in the public interest legal field, or for other opportunities for students interested in public interest law please reach out to us at pila@nesl.edu
