The pro-liberty public interest law movement may have begun with Pacific Legal Foundation, but we didn’t invent public interest law.
Public interest law existed well before PLF’s founding in 1973. It has played a significant role in virtually every social and political movement of the past century.
We just adopted and improved upon previous generations of public interest lawyers who did it well. Along the way, our weapon of choice, impact litigation, has become an increasingly powerful tool in American politics. And right now, the current Supreme Court presents an incredible opportunity for liberty in America.
It’s time for all of us working toward a more free America to embrace impact litigation as a critical tool in our arsenal for social change. In an effort to increase collaboration between litigators, researchers, grassroots advocates, and policy professionals, PLF is launching a virtual event series called “Public Interest Law 101” designed to unpack the nuts and bolts of public interest litigation for non-litigators.
On September 13, join us for the first event in this series, Pulling Back the Curtain: Public Interest Litigation for Non-Litigators. This one-hour training will serve as an introduction to our “Public Interest Law 101” series. Leading public interest litigators will introduce public interest litigation (What’s the difference between federal and state courts? How do you build and bring a winning case? How do you get to the Supreme Court?); discuss the strategy behind impact litigation; and explore case studies of public interest litigation that has intersected with traditional policy work.
Join us for other events in our "Pulling Back the Curtain" series:
