Public Law Project

PLP is a multi-award winning, national legal charity, founded over 30 years ago. We ensure the state uses its power well by protecting and advancing the principles of public law, including human rights and the rule of law. In doing so, we believe that by focussing on the experience of those most vulnerable to state power, we strengthen all of society. 

Our five strategic priorities are: (1) strengthening the constitution; (2) advocating for the fair and transparent use of new technologies, including AI, by the state; (3) ensuring that our immigration system is fair and humane; (4) safeguarding the welfare system so people are supported at their most economically vulnerable; and (5) protecting legal aid so that everyone can access justice.
