RALEIGH  — The Campbell Public Interest Law Students Association (CPILSA) will host its annual live auction beginning Sunday, March 23, 2025, to raise funds for public interest summer work stipends.   

CPILSA stipends are awarded annually to qualified law students who accept unpaid summer internships in public interest organizations. These students serve the public by doing legal work for clients who are poor, indigent or in acute need of legal assistance due to their age, mental condition or physical condition.  

These stipends allow students to accept these unpaid positions and serve the community by offsetting a portion of their living expenses. CPILSA’s goal for the auction is to raise enough funds to award four $2,000 summer stipends. To continue this trend of supporting public interest, CPILSA needs your help, organizers say. 

Please consider clicking the link below to contribute money to the CPILSA student stipend fund or mark your calendar to bid on this year’s auction items, which include workout packs for yoga and Solidcore, lunch or brunch with Dean J. Rich Leonard and a variety of other professors, bar prep packages, parking on the deck during exams, gift cards to Vita Vite, Taverna Agora and Birdies, tickets to ComedyWorx, a tote bag with several books (including the popular Fourth Wing) from Quail Ridge Bookstore, Campbell Law swag bags and even a wine and design class with Professors Lisa Lukasik and Jen Story.

Bidding will open at 6 a.m. on Sunday and close on Saturday, March 29, following the law school’s annual Law Awards Banquet.

“Whether you are an alumna/us or a member of the faculty, staff or student body, we are grateful for your help in supporting law students who choose to serve in unpaid public interest positions during the summer,” said Emma Baynard ‘25, co-president of CPILSA.
