Who are we
Welcome to the Public Interest Law Partnership (PILP), a one-stop center, with a growing network of over 200 partner law firms and non-governmental organizations. We provide free legal services to eligible individuals, families, communities, organizations, and small business owners. The PILP clearing house assists applicants in criminal, civil, administrative, and other legal matters.
Our public interest online portal provides the technological support that enhances our access to justice initiatives for all stakeholders and fosters our public-private partnership’s collaborative efforts in a sustainable way. This will have a long-term impact on the country’s model of pro bono legal service delivery to the poor.
We Provide:
- Legal advice and information
- Case management
- Crisis intervention
- Counseling for adults and children
- Legal representation for persons of limited means in civil or criminal matters
- Legal representation or counseling for charitable, religious, civic, community, governmental, and educational organizations in matters that primarily address the needs of persons of limited means
- Civil rights and public rights law: representation or advocacy for individuals or organizations seeking to vindicate rights with broad societal implications where charging legal fees may be inappropriate
- Community economic development: representation or counseling for businesses owned by persons of limited means aimed at community economic development
