Wilf Impact Center for Public Interest Law
The Wilf Impact Center for Public Interest Law is committed to utilizing the law and legal education to advance social justice, promote the practice of public interest law, and expand the role of public interest law in the professional development of New York Law School students.
The Center uses a wide range of tools to advance its goals, including academic programs, events, publications, experiential opportunities, advocacy and policy initiatives, and fellowships.
The Center also shares space with NYLS’s Office of Public Interest and Pro Bono Initiatives, a “one-stop” resource for students seeking public interest-focused academic and career advising. It is also part of NYLS’s Social Justice Hub, home to this advising operation and space for a number of outside partner nonprofits.
All students are welcome to join the Center as affiliates. By becoming an affiliate, students can actively participate in public interest law practice and expand their professional network. We encourage you to apply if you are dedicated to social justice and aim to become a public interest advocate and public servant.
The Center sponsors conferences, CLE programs, panel discussions, roundtable discussions, symposia, workshops, and much more. The Center also hosts Impact Today!, a weekly series highlighting how current events impact civil rights and civil liberties.
The Center offers several publications:
