All walks of life – including the four-legged and furry kind – took part in last week’s virtual 5K for Duke Law’s Public Interest Law Foundation (@pilfdukelaw). Our school’s PILF team encourages and enables students at Duke Law to pursue summer internships and careers in the public interest and public service. From the start, you’ll see Gaby Feliciani ’23 and Ralphie, her adorable puppy; then, Duke Law Lecturing Fellow Peggy Nicholson, a supervising attorney at the Children's Law Clinic, running her 5K over the Thanksgiving break; the incomparable Stella Boswell, assistant dean of Public Interest and Pro Bono, and her family at the historic Occoneechee Speedway in Hillsborough, N.C.; and, Prof. Jamie Lau and his family out for a 5K on their own. Thank you to everyone who participated. Link in bio for more information about PILF at Duke Law.
