I 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.

"Paucity" does not mean what you think it means :) That said, most of the legal clinics run by law students are for low-income clients only. For example, BC does one that works with the homeless on a variety of legal issues. They are all supervised by licensed attorneys who bear the ultimate responsibility for the case.

If I may ask, is your university a traditional one, or is it a trade school run for profit? If so, I might have some additional recommendations.

Pretty much any law school clinic is going to do a good job, as they are students and therefore extremely earnest. I've worked with attorneys from Harvard Legal Aid and would certainly recommend them. I've also heard only good thing about Greater Boston Legal Services.
