SGA pro bono legal clinic has prospective start date of March 21


Student Government Association President Brittany Mouzourakis announced the proposed pro bono legal clinic has a prospective start-date of March 21.

Three licensed attorneys, all Central Michigan University instructors, have agreed to participate in the clinic, which will offer free legal advice to students on a by-appointment basis.

Hope May, faculty in the department of philosophy and religion, Matt Coffey, temporary faculty in the department of finance and law and Gerald White, finance and law instructor, have agreed to volunteer their time to the clinic. Mouzourakis said she had been talking to the three for some time, and they formally agreed to participate in a meeting last week.

As previously reported, the clinic will offer legal advice, but not legal representation.

"Hope May is helping to build a website for us," Mouzourakis said. The site will be found at legalclinic.cmich.edu.

Further reports on the clinic's development will be forthcoming at CM-Life.com and in Central Michigan Life.
