About LSU's Public Interest Law Society
The Public Interest Law Society (PILS) is a student run organization that strives to foster student interest and action in the public interest community.
Our mission is to provide like minded students an opportunity to gain hands-on legal experience through exposure to areas of the law that aid the public.
PILS provides pro bono and community service activities, educational lectures, and a public interest career counselor to raise awareness of issues faced by our immediate community and beyond.
We're not your ordinary student organization. Instead, PILS is a group of students who know law school isn't just about briefing cases and preparing outlines. We work to improve the Law Center and our surrounding community. Specifically, PILS organizes community service events and pro-bono legal opportunities. We also award fellowships to students who clerk for public interest organizations. And, when time permits, we gather outside of law school and have a little fun too.
