Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Crime & Law, Public Interest Law
Mission: The tlf mission statement proclaims that no legal education is complete unless it instills in students an obligation to contribute to the public good in exchange for the privilege of practicing law. We strive to create an environment at the university of texas school of law in which students can fully, effectively and easily serve the public interest. This mandate has produced two distinct goals: 1) the promotion of public interest through fundraising and providing fellowships to students who work in a public interest internship and would otherwise not receive adequate compensation. 2) working in conjunction with other public interest law groups both within the law school community as well as in the legal community at large to draw attention to public interest law issues and recognize the importance of public interest law to society.
Programs: Provided fellowships to law students working at non-profits or government agencies over the summer, who would not otherwise receive compensation for their work. All recipients were students at the university of texas school of law.
