How would you like to have
your own personal lawyer at your
disposal, just like a large corpo
ration or some rich big shot? If
you found yourself in a sticky
situation and needed some legal
advice, you'd swivel in your leather
desk chair, reach for the phone
and talk to "your" lawyer while
you chomped on a cigar.
Well, as a matter of fact, you
do have your own lawyer three
of them Dorothy Bernholz,
David Kirkman and Carol Bad
gett. You have to share them with
23,000 other students, but they are
your lawyers your student
activity fees pay their salaries.
They are Student Legal Services
and are located in Suite 222 in the
Student Union. And if you need
their advice, just walk in or call
any weekday from 8:30 a.m. to 5
p.m. Their telephone is 933-1303.
No appointment necessary.
These three lawyers represent
over 200 students a month
"Which any lawyer will tell you
is a lot of clients," Bernholz said.
Bernholz is the director of SLS
and is one of the two full-time
lawyers there; Carol Badgett
works part-time. Bernholz has
been with the program since its
start in 1975.
What exactly can your lawyers
do for you?
With 23,000 possible clients,
there are some limitations. But
they can represent a student, free
of charge, for the. folio wing situa
tions and problems.
They can help you in landlord
tenant disputes. This accounts for
the largest percentage of their
cases, Bernholz said. A student
might come in and say he did not
get his security deposit, or the
apartment he lived in was not
being maintained properly. SLS
will go to court if necessary,
although mediation is always tried
first.
SLS can help you recover
damages in small claims court for
matters involving less than $1500.
They can even carry out an
uncontested divorce.
SLS also does "expungements"
for students who have arrest
records. SLS can strike the record
from the books, if the student was
found not guilty or the charges
were dismissed.
Most importantly, your legal
counsel can give you lots of advice,
both before and after you get in
trouble. Students have even called
them from jail, Bernholz said.
"Our best service is the advice
we give," said Bernholz. "We try
to get information out to the
students. We don't want some
body to wait until they get in
trouble to see us. We practice
preventive law."
