GPILP (Public Interest Law)

Mission Statement

The Gonzaga Public Interest Law Project (GPLIP) was founded in 1989 to promote student participation in public interest work, especially public interest law.

The Gonzaga Public Interest Law Project's (GPILP) main objective is to remove the financial obstacles that prevent students from pursuing careers in public interest.

• GPILP achieves this objective through fundraising events such as the annual Halloween party and the auction.
• These fundraising events allow GPILP to award summer grants to students working in otherwise uncompensated, summer, public interest law positions.
• GPILP members are also involved in general community service projects; for example, working with the Spokane Neighborhood Action Program, the Center for Justice, and the Unemployment Law Project.
