ABOUT THE EVENT

PILF summer grants support students working unpaid legal positions with public interest law firms such King County Department of Public Defense, Northwest Immigrant Rights Project, and TeamChild. This experiential learning opportunity would not otherwise be possible for many students, and helps to fill unmet need in the access to justice community. We hope you will be a part of this mission, and help us reach our goal of funding 25 grants!

Keynote Address:  The Honorable Mary I. Yu

Washington State Supreme Court

Justice Yu joined the Supreme Court after more than 14 years as an accomplished trial court judge in King County Superior Court where she presided over a wide variety of criminal, civil, and juvenile cases, and presided over hundreds of adoptions and other family law matters.
