Institute for Justice comes to Baylor


Yesterday, BPILS was proud to host Matt Miller, Executive Director for the Institute for Justice Texas Chapter, who spoke on "5 Things Every Law Student Should Know About Public Interest Law." The 24 students and faculty in attendance learned about the various career opportunities available in the public interest sector, ways to make these jobs financially feasible despite student loans, and the great personal reward that comes with committing yourself to a worthwhile cause.

Mr. Miller also showed videos of the Institute for Justice's involvement in Kelo v. New London 545 U.S. 469 (2005), an eminent domain case decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2005. IJ represented Susette Kelo.
