The Public Law Center

Jazz in New Orleans

The Public law Center's staff and students represent disadvantaged clients in the legislative and administrative processes of government, appearing at the legislature and before state agencies to present the bills and proposed regulations they have researched and drafted for client groups. The Center also provides general legal consultation and representation to nonprofit organizations in transactional matters.

In addition, the Center conducts a variety of international training events, both domestically and abroad, for legislative drafting staff, public officials, and non-governmental organizations. These three areas of activity constitute the Center's mission—to educate law students, to represent disadvantaged clients, and to provide international training that supports the global movement toward democratization.
