davis_squareI am in need of a pro bono lawyer/legal clinic because of a tuition dispute with my university. Thanks to the paucity of law schools here, I have several options. Has anyone had a positive (or negative) experience with any of the pro bono clinics? Reccomendations? I checked the memories and didn't see anything.

This just isn't good communication.
