Public Interest Litigation

Overview

Public interest litigation allows a single case to protect many people. We select and run matters where the legal question affects a class of persons, a community or the operation of a public institution.

Each case is built with evidence, partners and a strategy for what happens after judgment: implementation, monitoring, policy dialogue and public legal education.
