Hello!

We hope this email finds you and yours safe and well!

This month, we hosted our Virtual Annual Pro Bono Reception and were joined by several special guests to discuss the role of pro bono legal services during this time. While the event may be over, the work of defining justice continues and we hope you will continue to join us!

We also welcomed Jessica Schneider as our new managing attorney and announced a new virtual appellate pro bono opportunity coming this fall.

As always, we hope you will stay in touch through  Facebook Twitter LinkedIn , YouTube  and Instagram . Stay healthy and well!

Sincerely, 

On Thursday, May 28th, PILI welcomed summer 2020 PILI  Law Student Interns  and  Graduate Fellows  as well as other interns from public interest law organizations and government agencies. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, PILI hosted this year’s Orientation over Zoom.
