Legal Education & Public Interest Law

Clinical Legal Education MeetingRepresentatives of a number of Ireland's third level institutions, the professional legal bodies and the PILA team at the Roundtable on Clinical Legal Education, Dublin, 16 October 2009.

PILA works to promote public interest law as a part of legal education at third level for students and professional legal education for trainees. We further aim to increase awareness of public interest law among current practitioners.

PILA also works to promote community legal education among marginalised and disadvantaged people and those who work with them. This involves raising awareness of the law through various means including education and training.
