It’s that time again! The annual PILA Auction will be held on
Saturday, November 10th at the Omni Hotel. The PILA Board has been
hard at work planning the event by securing donations for students to
bid on at the Auction. Proceeds from the Auction will help PILA
provide funding for law students engaged in public interest work this
summer. Thanks to your generosity, last summer a record number of 
students received PILA grants.

In the past, one of the keys to the PILA Auction’s success has been
the generous donations from the law school students. If
you’ve donated in the past, we’d love for you to do the same this
year. If you’ve never donated, please consider making a donation this
year.  

To donate, please fill out the attached contract of donation. If you
would like to donate more than one gift, blank contracts of donation
can be found on the PILA bulletin board in Hunton & Williams Hall.
Completed contracts may be returned in one of two ways: email them to 
virginiapilaauction@gmail.com by Friday, October 26th, or email them 
to Julianne Jaquith at Julianne.Jaquith@gmail.com.  You may also contact 
Julianne if you have any questions about the auction or about making
a donation.  

Thank you for supporting PILA!

We would like to invite all interested first- and second-year law students to apply for a public service mentor. This pilot program is part of an ongoing effort by the Program in Law & Public Service, the PublicService Center, and the Public Interest Law Association (PILA) to help create a more cohesive public service community at UVA Law.It is our hope that the mentors will serve as a valuable resource for mentees throughout the year as they select courses, apply for pro bono opportunities, and decide on their summer jobs. To participate in the program, please fill out the application attached. 


Please email your completed application to Dana Tapper (tapper.dana@gmail.com) & Robyn Bitner (Robyn.Bitner@gmail.com) by 5:00pm on Wednesday, October 24th.
