LEGAL ASSISTANCE
Student Government has free legal advice available to full-time day students. The attorney will be in the Student Government Office (Campus Center, Room 1710) Tuesday 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Thursday from 7:30 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. by appointment. Students should take advantage of this service. The attorney is here to help solve your problems and inform you of your options if you should find yourself with legal matters. For more information or appointments, contact the Student Government Office. If you need immediate legal assistance, contact the Lawyer Referral and Information Service, 546-2130. You pay an initial $40 referral fee which gives you a 30 minute consultation with a lawyer. After the half hour, if you choose to retain a lawyer, referrals and fees will be discussed.
