The PILP Auction raises funds to provide stipends and loan assistance to law students and alumni working for the public interest. This year, we are excited to announce that the auction will be returning to Lewis & Clark Law School on February 11, 2017, at 6:00 pm.

We will be serving heavy hors d'oeuvres, with plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. The silent auction opens at 6:00 pm. The first closing for the silent auction is at 7:00 pm and the second closing is at 7:15 pm. The live auction begins at 8:00 pm. Buy your ticket today!

PILP will honor Judge Michael McShane at the Auction!

PILP will honor Michael McShane, US District Court Judge for the District of Oregon, with the Larry K. Amburgey Commitment to Public Interest Law Award at the PILP Auction. Judge McShane graduated from Lewis & Clark Law School in 1988 before joining the Office of the Metropolitan Public Defender in Portland. He then served as a full-time Judge Pro Tempore on the Multnomah County Circuit Court from 1997 to 2001 and as a Judge on the same court from 2001 to 2013. He was confirmed to the federal court in 2013 and currently serves in Eugene.

The Larry K. Amburgey Commitment to Public Interest Law Award was established in 2011 to recognize Lewis & Clark Law School graduates who demonstrate long-term and loyal commitment to the public interest law program at the law school.
