Believe it or not, it is possible to work as a full-time public interest attorney with a . . . gasp . . . for-profit law firm. While still considered a niche practice, many “public interest law firms” represent individuals, groups (such as labor unions and member associations), and government bodies on myriad legal matters, including employment and housing discrimination, labor issues, land use and property rights, and much more.
