Public Interest at Penn Law

Thanks to the historic generosity of two distinguished Penn graduates, Robert Toll L’66 and Jane Toll GSE’66, the Law School is home to a remarkable roster of public interest scholarships and programs. Committed to offering service-minded students the most comprehensive system of support in the country, the Law School continues to grow its already thriving public interest community.

An Unwavering Commitment to Service

TPIC oversees the Toll Public Service Corps, which houses the Toll Public Interest Scholars & Fellows Programs. The Service Corps offers tailored programming for Toll Scholars & Fellows and administers the associated scholarships.

Additionally, TPIC designs and delivers the Public Interest Experience (PIE). All Penn Carey Law students who are passionate about public interest may apply to join the Public Interest Experience each fall semester. PIE members take part in tailored programs that connect them to like-minded peers, public interest faculty, alumni, and practitioners while building skills and providing guidance about the law school experience.

The Service Corps and PIE embody Penn Carey Law’s unwavering commitment to service.
