David Emory Fleet | Social Justice and Advocacy: A Guide to Public Interest Law

In a world where social injustices persist, public interest law plays a vital role in promoting social justice, equality, and human rights. Public interest lawyers are dedicated to advocating for underrepresented and marginalized individuals and communities.

Public interest law refers to legal advocacy and representation on behalf of individuals and groups who lack resources or face systemic barriers to accessing justice. Unlike traditional law practice, public interest law places an emphasis on serving the public good rather than solely pursuing individual client interests. Public interest lawyers often work for nonprofit organizations, government agencies, or public interest law firms dedicated to addressing social and systemic issues.
