5. Get Ready to Roll the Dice!
Welcome to the 2015 Public Interest Auction! Thank you for joining us for an evening of food, drink,
fierce bidding, and surprise performances, all in support of Harvard Law School’s public interest
community.
Since 1994, the annual Public Interest Auction has raised money for Summer Public Interest Funding
(SPIF). SPIF funds the work of students pursuing summer employment in non-profit, government, or
private public interest settings, making it possible for students to accept unpaid or underpaid positions.
During the summer of 2014, 480 Harvard Law students received funding totaling $2.19 million. Over 40
of these students worked internationally in 27 countries, and 440 students worked in 32 states, plus the
District of Columbia. We are so impressed with the range of work our classmates will take on this
summer, and are proud to support and celebrate their public interest employment.
This evening’s event would not have been possible without the participation of many people throughout
the law school community. We are truly grateful for the assistance we have received from faculty,
administrators, alumni, students, firms, local businesses, corporations, and families. Thank you! Your
support makes it possible for students to do meaningful work and have extraordinary experiences at
public service organizations all over the world.
We would also like to thank the members of the Class of 2017. All the 1Ls who will receive SPIF this
summer have contributed to this auction, and without them tonight’s event would not have been
possible. The best part of working on the auction for us has been the opportunity to get to know and
work with so many of our tremendous classmates.
A few things to keep in mind this evening: When bidding on silent auction items, please be sure to write
your bidder number clearly. Please also notice the minimum bids and raises indicated on the item
placards. For some items, we provide only the contact information of the donor; it is the winner’s
responsibility to follow up. Please recycle any paper goods, including these programs, and compost all
compostables in the marked containers. Bid at your own risk; we are not able to make returns.
The Silent Auction will close at 7:00pm. Prepare to be dazzled by our extraordinary auctioneers
Professors Susan Farbstein and Jonathan Zittrain when the Live Auction begins at 7:00pm in the Ames
Courtroom.
Time to go all in!
With gratitude –
Your 2015 Public Interest Auction Co-Chairs

Calling all BARBRI students! BARBRI is offering
ten (10) $1,500 Tuition Cap Vouchers, with
bidding on each starting at $500! Winning
students will pay BARBRI $1,500 plus tax,
shipping, and the refundable book deposit.
For instance, the Massachusetts BARBRI rate
is $3,895. If you were to pay $600 for a winning
bid, you would only pay BARBRI $1,500 (plus
taxes and fees), plus the $600 that goes toward
PIP, resulting in about $1,795 in savings for
you! In other words, you would pay around
$2,100 for a bar course valued at $3,895!!
This is a great opportunity for you to save
substantial money for your BARBRI course
while raising money for public interest summer
jobs! (Ten certificates available.)
