CPIL interns are given a unique opportunity to participate firsthand in public policymaking on the statewide level, and to work with

experienced public interest advocates in a varietyof settings. Past CPIL intern advocacy projects have included:

• The creationof the Utility Consumers' Action Network, the nation's second-largest ratepayer organization, which regularly represents the public interest before the state Public Utilities Commission.

• The draftingof legislation that gave the state's twoopen meetings statutesa civil remedy.

• The publication of agencycritiques in the Reporter, which has

led to reform legislation and, in one instance, to the unprecedented abolition of a state agency.

• The draftingof amicus curiae briefs in appellate litigation on public interest and regulatory issues.

In 1990,San Diego philanthropists Soland Helen Price contributed $1.8 million to USD to establish the Price Public Interest Law Chair, anendowed faculty chair held by CPIL Director Robert C. Fellmeth.
