Summer Stipends

About Summer Stipends

Each year PILP funds summer stipends up to $5,000 each so law students can work at public interest organizations that cannot afford summer law clerks. The benefit of the program is twofold:

  1. Students can afford to work in the public interest sector and to gain valuable legal experience while still in law school;
  2. Nonprofit and governmental organizations receive legal help that they cannot afford.
PILP funds the Summer Stipend Program through a generous grant from our school and primarily through our Annual Auction. For more information about the Summer Stipend Program, please contact PILP's Vice President for Stipend Board Relations, Hallison Putnam(hputnam@lclark.edu) or email us at: pilp@lclark.edu.
