About PILSA

The Washington and Lee Public Interest Law Students Association was created to increase law student's access to opportunities in public interest law. Within PILSA's stated goals, public interest law is defined as that realm of advocacy which protects and advances interests traditionally or currently under-represented in American society. The goals of PILSA are to:

• Secure funding to subsidize public interest internships
  
  
• Provide ongoing informational and administrative support to the placement office with respect to public interest employment
  
  
• Emphasize ways the Shepherd Poverty Program and the Law School can work more closely together
  
  
• Enable and elevate the participation of W&L students in the active practice of public interest law
