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 main objective of the GPLIP is to remove the financial obstacles that prevent students from pursuing careers in public interest. It accomplishes this objective by awarding grants to students working in summer public interest law positions that otherwise would be uncompensated.

It funds its programs with such events as the annual Halloween party and the dinner and auction.

GPILP members are also involved in general community service projects, which may include work with the Spokane Neighborhood Action Program, the Center for Justice, and the Unemployment Law Project.
