Each year through the student fundraising efforts of the Public Interest Law Society (PILS) at the annual Public Service Auction, Loyola offers grants to support students who wish to do public interest legal work during the summer months. The Auction is the biggest student event of the year, typically raising over $20,000. Notably, the PILS Auction is a unique event for Loyola because it is entirely student run and student organized.

The 2011 PILS Auction was held on February 10, 2011 and once again successfully raised over $20,000 towards providing summer grants for Loyola students working in public interest. The Executive Board of PILS would like to thank all of those who made the event a tremendous success and we look forward to continuing the tradition in the 2011-2012 academic year!
