About SPILF
The Stanford Public Interest Law Foundation is a student organization
dedicated to creating opportunities for law students and legal professionals
to engage in critically needed public interest work. Through a variety of
fundraising efforts, SPILF provides financial support to students, alumni,
and organizations working in public interest law. SPILF's goals are to:
Bring legal services to those groups that would otherwise lack
access to adequate legal representation;
Strengthen the network of students and alumni involved with
public interest;
Provide training and support to students interested pursuing
public interest work at Stanford Law School and after graduation;
and
Increase participation in and the visibility of public interest
initiatives at Stanford.
SPILF has "seeded" many projects at the Law School, including Summer
Funding, Post-Graduate Public Interest Fellowships, and the Public Interest
Lawyer of the Year Awards, all of which have become institutions of the
public interest community.
In addition, SPILF funds projects run by Stanford Law students that impact
out community. Details of these projects are on the following page.
To support students pursuing careers in the public interest, SPILF provides
bar grants to graduating 3Ls. These cash grants assist them with bar fees
and study courses, to ease their financial burden at the outset of their
careers. All students starting positions that involve working for
underserved communities or the environment are eligible.

Student Initiatives
The SPILF Student Initiatives Grant Program supports student-run projects at Stanford
that make a public interest impact in our community. In 2015, we received many great
applications from a diverse group of applicants. The following programs were selected
as SPILF Student Initiatives Grant recipients.
2015 Spring Funding Round
Project ReMADE: An SLS pro bono initiative aiming to facilitate the successful reentry of
people returning home from prison and jail by fostering entrepreneurial aptitude and
skills for those who are interested in pursuing self-employment.
Shaking the Foundations: An annual conference that brings together progressive legal
minds from the West Coast and across the country to discuss present and future issues
within the movement, explore the role of young lawyers, and encourage attendees to
work toward social and environmental justice.
Housing Pro Bono Project: Working at Community Legal Services in East Palo Alto
(CLSEPA), Housing Pro Bono volunteers assist low-income residents with housing and
landlord-tenant issues.
Stanford National Lawyers Guild (NLG): The NLG seeks to bring together law students
dedicated to harnessing the law as a tool to advance social justice and social
movements. As the nation’s first racially integrated bar association, the NLG has a long
history of standing with social movements that challenge systemic criminalization and
marginalization of people of color.
Stanford Law Veterans Organization (SLVO): SLVO is composed of all current and
former military and military-affiliated members of the SLS community. In addition to
providing support and mentoring to members, SLVO works with other student groups
to promote military and veterans' legal issues to Stanford’s campus.
The Stanford Clemency Project: The Clemency Project is a new pilot program at
Stanford that works with Clemency Project 2014, a national organization that submits
petitions for clemency. Participants file petitions primarily for nonviolent offenders with
limited criminal records who received unreasonably long sentences under outdated,
now-repealed sentencing guidelines.
The Stanford Law School Student Animal Legal Defense Fund (SALDF): SALDF is
dedicated to providing a forum for education, advocacy, and scholarship aimed at
protecting the lives and interests of animals through the legal system. SALDF educates
the law school and surrounding communities about forms of institutionalized animal
abuse and engages in projects that combat that abuse.

Student Initiatives
2015 Fall Funding Round
The Environmental Pro Bono: The Environmental Pro Bono is currently conducting
research for Communities for a Better Environment, a nonprofit operating in the
Oakland/Richmond area. Members are researching and drafting possible regulations for
air pollutant emissions from local refineries in the area that disproportionately affect
communities of color and low-income people. The grant allowed members to go on a
"toxic tour" of the area to learn about the environmental impact of refineries on these
communities.
OUTLAW: OUTLAW is a Stanford Law School program that serves as a social, support,
and political group actively combating homophobia, heterosexism, and any
discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. OUTLAW hosts social
events, advocates for and on behalf of queer faculty, and presents panels focusing on
academic and professional concerns of queer students.
Stanford Native American Law Students Association (NALSA): This student association
raises awareness of Indian Law issues, provides mentorship, and builds affinity within
the larger Native community. The grant supported the production and discussion of “A
Sliver of a Full Moon,” a play with important educational and cultural significance.
American Constitution Society for Law and Policy (ACS): ACS is a recently formed
national organization of law students, law professors, judges, practicing lawyers and
others. ACS seeks to restore the fundamental principles of respect for human dignity,
protection of individual rights and liberties, genuine equality, and access to justice to
their rightful—and traditionally central—place in American law.
The Stanford Black Law Students Association (BLSA): BLSA is a student-run
organization that strives to provide career and academic support for black law students,
law students of color, and the greater law school community. BLSA received a grant to
prepare and serve food at a local homeless shelter called the Opportunity Center, as well
as to support a community celebration event with the Mural, Music, and Arts Project, a
nonprofit based in East Palo Alto.
The Levin Center: The Levin Center and SPILF joined forces to send students to the
Rebellious Lawyering ("RebLaw") conference at Yale Law School in February. RebLaw is a
nationally recognized conference bringing together practitioners, law students, and
community activists from around the country to discuss innovative, progressive
approaches to law and social change.
