PIN is a student-led organization dedicated to supporting USD Knudson School of Law students who volunteer their time working unpaid, summer internships with public interest organizations.
Last year, the PIN auction raised $12,000, providing six law students with funds to help cover the cost-of-living expenses as they completed their public interest summer internships.
