Public interest law spans a wide variety of practice areas and settings, but shares the common goal of providing legal services to under-represented populations and issues. Loyola encourages students and alumni to incorporate public interest work into their career plans whether it is as a pro bono opportunity or working in the public interest community. The Office of Career Services hopes the following information is useful to you in this effort.
