The Public Interest Review (ReDIP) is published by the Law Faculty of the National University of La Plata. This project is grounded on the observation of the evolving practice of Public Interest litigation in the local constitutional law.
The main objective of the ReDIP is to make visible this experience and to reflect theoretically on it, willing to contribute to the development of an innovative and fundamental field of Law that can positively impact our democratic legal systems.
