Public Interest Students’ Organization

The Public Interest Students' Organization (PISO) is a UCLA School of Law group for students aiming at careers in public interest law. It publishes a Dis-Orientation Guide for incoming law students on what standard orientation tends to skip, including public interest career paths, funding, a frank look at Big Law and a public interest playbook. Members' work has ranged from federal courts to labor organizations, environmental groups and immigration clinics, and the group links students across those issue areas through mentorship and career resources.
