Slightly off topic:
The US District Court for Eastern Michigan is scheduled to open a pro se legal assistance clinic in a few days (on January 17) to fill a need for those seeking to represent themselves in federal civil lawsuits. It will help those with legitimate claims who cannot afford to hire their own attorney.
US District Chief Judge Denise Page Hood said of the clinic that, "Pro se litigants often lack the legal training to effectively pursue legitimate claims."
An adjunct law professor will supervise the law students at the clinic, with the students providing free limited legal research and advice to the pro se litigants.
There is a similar program operating already in Brooklyn, New York.
