SLU LAW's Public Interest Law Group

SLU LAW's Public Interest Law Group Law students dedicated to promoting civic service and social justice The information provided is on an as-is basis.

Across the country, Public Interest Law Groups (PILG) are committed organizations of lawyers and law students focused on bringing about change and promoting the well-being of any given community. Each PILG organization is a little different and has different goals, but they all have at least one very common characteristic - volunteerism. As a SLU LAW student organization, we strive to do our part

in the community by providing numerous volunteer opportunities to all students such as the Light the Night, Stand Down/Sweats for Vets, as well as by hosting fundraising events like the PILG Auction and the Ambulance Chase in which some of the money we raise goes to students taking non-paid, public interest internships who could not afford to do so otherwise. Saint Louis University School of Law was founded in 1843 and is the oldest Law School west of the Mississippi River. The strength of the faculty, breadth of course offerings and extensive clinical and professional skills experience provide students with a well-rounded legal education. The School of Law’s rich history consists of strong connections to the community and a long tradition of public service. For more information, visit law.slu.edu.

“Every morning I wake up and get to chase my dreams.” - Norman Brown

Today, PILG co-hosted an event with Street Law, Health Law Association, and Criminal Law Society. We got the amazing opportunity to interview Mr. Brown himself! His story was so inspiring and we loved getting to hear about how future lawyers can impact the criminal legal system and juveniles sentenced to life without parole. Thanks to everyone who came and thanks to Mr. Brown for sharing with us!!

ALERT: ~Networking Opportunity~

Hello SLU Law!

The Public Interest Law Group (PILG) is having its first meeting this Thursday, October 1 at Noon via Zoom! This is an exciting opportunity for students to hear from and speak with attorneys who work in Public Interest jobs in the St. Louis area. The panelists are Amanda Schneider, who works in the Education Justice Program at Legal Services of Eastern Missouri; Jasmine Jacobs, who works in the Lasting Solutions (Family Law) Program at Legal Services of Eastern Missouri; and Kayla DeLoach with the ACLU.

I have created the Zoom meeting to allow for three breakout rooms. Each panelist will introduce themselves briefly and discuss what they do, then I will split everyone into the breakout rooms depending on who they would like to speak more with. This will be a great opportunity to learn more about public interest jobs in the St. Louis area and ask about internship opportunities. I hope you can make it!

Here is the Zoom invite:

Hello PILG Members!

We are seeking a 1L Representative! The 1L Rep mainly attends SBA meetings on behalf of PILG and then reports back to us about anything important we may need to know. The 1L Rep can be further involved in PILG as little or as much as they would like. We would love help with Zoom meetings and Auction planning, but understand that 1L is busy and stressful. Please complete the Google Form below by next Friday, September 18 if you are interested.
