BROOKLYN PUBLIC INTEREST LAW FOUNDATION
Mission Statement
Brooklyn Law Students for the Public Interest (BLSPI) is a student-run, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization at Brooklyn Law School that encourages and enables student participation in public interest legal work serving underrepresented communities and individuals. BLSPI accomplishes this work through the work of its various committees. BLSPI was originally created to manage the organization’s summer Fellowship program and to support Brooklyn Law School’s public interest community at large. Since that time, the organization has grown immensely, adding a variety of committees to serve the public interest community, all headed by our board of directors and executive board.
