Our Team

The Public Interest Law Foundation is run by 1Ls, 2Ls, and 3Ls who are dedicated to fostering a community of public service at BC Law.  Members of the PILF Board meet weekly to plan fundraising, alumni outreach, and public interest programming. Successes of the PILF Board include: funding summer stipends for over thirty years, including by means of an annual Auction and Public Interest Celebration; organizing a wide array of public interest-oriented events in partnership with faculty, alumni, and community organizations; and prioritizing collaborations with other student organizations whenever possible.

​

Just by showing an interest in public interest law at BC, or by supporting your peers who are interested in public interest work, you are a member of PILF. We welcome you to all of PILF's events and community spaces!
