The Maryland Public Interest Law Project, Inc. (MPILP) is a student-run 501(c)(3) providing summer funding for students to work in otherwise unpaid public interest legal internships. Our mission is to empower Maryland Carey law students to serve our most vulnerable communities. We believe that everyone deserves access to justice, and we are committed to fostering Maryland's next generation of public interest attorneys.
2026 is our 38th year supporting University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law students through our summer grants program. We also educate students about the numerous opportunities to practice public interest law, reinforce their commitment to the rewarding field of public interest law, and encourage the pro bono efforts of law firms.
