Public Interest Law Gathering

Public Interest Law Gathering A coming together of public interest law practitioners in South Africa.

The field of public interest litigation is expanding rapidly in South Africa, with an increasing amount of institutions engaging with law as a tool for social change. The public interest law gathering (PILG) is an annual event held in Johannesburg, South Africa bringing together public interest legal practitioners and organisations, law students, paralegals, social movement leaders and legal acade

mics with the aim of serving as a focal point for professionals in the field to share and develop knowledge. Focussing on public interest litigation, the gathering is a collaborative knowledge-sharing exercise, as well as an opportunity to promote networking in the public interest community. We intend to facilitate greater collaboration within human rights and public interest litigation oriented organisations and to increase the skills of persons working in such organisations.
