Organizer

Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia

 

The mission of the Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia is to use high impact legal strategies to improve the well-being and life prospects of the Philadelphia region’s most vulnerable populations by assuring that they have access to the resources and services that all of us need to lead our lives.

The Law Center opened its doors in 1969 as one of the eight original affiliates of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.

In 1974 leaders of the Philadelphia Bar Association incorporated the Law Center as an independent nonprofit in order to ensure the continuation of its focus on systemic change by a dedicated staff of public interest attorneys.
