And we are equally committed to using our substantial intellectual capital to help solve real-world problems and to create a more just society. One of our distinguishing features is the extraordinary degree to which our students and faculty partner with people beyond the school: identifying challenges, creating alliances, solving problems, and sparking change. Our highly distinguished faculty prepares our students for careers in a world of rapid change, complexity, and opportunity. At PIL, we meet this challenge by offering a curriculum that provides a solid legal and ethical foundation, enriched by courses in emerging fields and hands-on experience. PIL is a place where not only your intellect will be challenged, but also as a place that will give you the training and the skills necessary to hit the ground running as a lawyer. It is our deepest desire that having PIL on one’s diploma will be synonymous with proficiency in legal reasoning and argumentation. We train our students to think analytically, carefully, and thoughtfully and we do that better than any other school. But particularly given the changes buffeting the legal market, we also give serious attention to skills training--the activities that professionals engage in every day of their life such as drafting and negotiating agreements and oral advocacy. The training you will receive as a PIL Law student is second to none, and private and public employers alike will be glad to have you join their ranks. Come visit us and let us show you why our students and faculty are so happy to be here and meet the people in our community.
