Subject: NEW WEB SITE: Public Interest Law Initiative in Transitional Societies
Public Interest Law Initiative in Transitional Societies
www.pili.org
The Public Interest Law Initiative in Transitional Societies (PILI) is
pleased to announce the opening of its new web site, www.pili.org. This
is a new online resource for public interest law in Central and Eastern
Europe, Russia and Central Asia. While electronic resources represent
just one aspect of PILI's efforts to support ongoing public interest work,
we hope that www.pili.org will be a center for communication and
information sharing among public interest organizations in the region.
Principal features of the site currently include:
1) the full text of PILI's publications;
2) an online version of its mailing lists (including an archive of all
messages);
3) a public interest library containing the full texts of articles and
papers on clinical legal education and access to justice and an
annotated bibliographic database of other publications relating to public
interest law;
4) a database of public interest organizations and resource providers
working in Central and Eastern Europe, Russia and Central Asia;
5) the Interights database of international human rights case summaries;
6) a Russian language version of its main navigational pages.
As with other websites, we expect www.pili.org, to remain a permanent
"work-in-progress." In the near future we expect to add a comprehensive
news and events section that will include a calendar of public interest
meetings, conferences and important deadlines. Moreover, we will
endeavor to identify new features of the site aimed at furthering our goal
of building strong public interest communities in the region, and we
request your help and feedback in our common endeavor. Please visit our
site at your earliest convenience.
If you represent a public interest organization or resource provider,
and you have not already done so, please complete an Organizational
Questionnaire to have your organization added to our online database.
An online version of this form can be found at
http://www.pili.org/resources/submit.html
Also, if you are not yet a member of the Public Interest Law Network
mailing list, visit our page at http://www.pili.org/lists/piln for more
information or to subscribe and become a member.
Thank you. We are excited about the opportunities for increased
communication and collaboration provided by the Internet, and we look
forward to hearing from you.
