"The genesis of the program started with the students," said Dorothy Bernholz, who designed the SLS format, and was its first attorney. "They actually envisioned a broader program. I designed one which 1 felt was realistic for the manpower available, i.e., me." Bernholz said SLS concentrates on landlord-tenant disputes and consumer action. "We can advise students in any area, but we represent them only in those two areas. However, we also can settle uncontested divorces and a limited number of traffic cases:" Most people who consult SLS do not need legal advice, Bernholz said. Rather, they have a problem and aren't sure where to go. "They're casting about for resources. We can direct them to the University or community source they need to contact," she said. "We try to stress preventive legal advice," Bernholz said. "For example, we tell students to seek legal advice before they sign a lease. We also teach a street law class and speak at dorms. "We emphasize that the student assert his fights first. Then,4 if he is unsuccessf ulr'w- , will ..-intervene -for. him,M she said. iiGDFD: V ' " J. V t : . "r . v --rv.,- rv.

"The case load keeps increasing," Bernholz said. "And there is a. change in the kind of cases. For instance, towing is way down now. A year and a half ago, we had 15 to 20 cases a week involving towing. "During the streaking erea, we had cases dealing with that. Legal problems are seasonal. During the football season, there are more DUIs. Domestic relation problems increase right before Christmas." In a recent case, SLS was able to help a student who felt that his landlord had not provided adequate tenant safety precautions. When the student moved into his apartment, he saw no safety locks on the windows. He informed the landlord, who failed to take action. Concerned because of the many robberies in the neighborhood, the student moved out. The landlord refused to return his deposit SLS sued for the deposit and won. The victory came on the grounds that the landlord failed to "provide a fit and habitable premise" for the tenant, Bernholz said. The Chapel Hill trwn housing code states that windows r have safety locks. GDOnDT- "u'QDQDi Pit Stop (in the Student Store) Y Court (next to South Bidg.)
