This annual conference seeks to highlight dynamic, creative ways to combat social injustice through the vehicle of the law. WIPI is committed to institutionalizing a public interest law conference in the Southeast. We feel the social history, political climate, and economic conditions of Southeast are unique, and we hope that by providing a forum to address persistent social injustices we may get one step closer to resolving the major public interest law issues in the Southeast.
