Involved Student Groups

During the 2008-09 academic year the following College of Law student groups are active in providing either public or pro bono service.

PILS: Public Interest Law Student Society

The Public Interest Law Society seeks to provide an open forum for students who are interested in donating their time to those who are less fortunate, to expose students to a side of life that some may never otherwise come into contact with, and the rewards associated with helping others who, often, cannot help themselves.

Sold Boo-Grams to support the summer stipend program.

In conjunction with WLC hosted a silent auction to raise funds for the summer stipend program.

WLC: Women's Law Caucus
