DePaul does not have any databases that specifically deal with Public Interest / Pro Bono Law resources. Public Interest / Pro Bono Law often intersects with other areas of law (ex. elder law, inmate / advocacy for the incarcerated, disability law, refugee law, juvenile law, environmental law, ect.) . Many law schools will recommend resources on their Public Interest Law dedicated pages or at their institute or clinical pages which focus in this area of law. Below are a list of databases and web resources that may contain materials of interest to someone working or researching in the area of public interest law / pro bono work / cause lawyering.
