'A public interest attorney is a lawyer who represents clients in cases considered within the "public interest." Public interest attorneys generally work for the government or for non-profit organizations that represent people who are marginalized within society for economic or social reasons. Public interest attorneys generally get paid much less than lawyers who work for law firms, and the goal of public interest law is to help make society more fair and to ensure that all people have access to the legal system and enjoy the full rights of citizenship. There are many different types of public interest attorneys. Examples include legal aid attorneys, prosecutors and public defenders, constitutional and civil rights attorneys, attorneys who assist victims of discrimination and domestic violence, childrens' rights lawyers, attorneys for the homeless, asylum attorneys, elder law attorneys, human rights attorneys, and tenants' lawyers, among many other kinds of public interest lawyers.
