The Public Interest Law Fund (PILF) of the Dickinson School of Law of the Pennsylvania State University was established by students in the fall of 1990 with the objective to promote student interest and community involvement in the field of public interest law.

A student-run organization, The Dickinson Public Interest Law Fund is dedicated to promoting the practice of law in the public interest arena. PILF promotes its goals by fundraising and sponsoring public interest events on campus to educate students about the rewarding career possibilities in public interest law. PILF also promotes its goal by funding a summer fellowship program that enables Dickinson Law students to accept non-paying public interest legal positions during the summer.

If you have any specific questions or would like to know more about PILF, please drop us a note in Box PILF (inter-office mail) or call (717) 240-5115 and a current PILF member will contact you.
