PILP’S seven dedicated attorneys greatly benefit from the volunteer time and commitment of Bay Area law students. Law clerks at PILP receive mentoring and training from our housing and public benefits attorneys and the opportunity to gain exposure to the mechanics of litigation while developing a better understanding of the systematic legal issues facing low-income communities in California. Located in downtown Oakland, PILP is easily accessible by public transportation or car from anywhere in the Bay Area.
