Carolina
Student Legal Services, Inc., located in Suite 222
in the Student Union, Chapel Hill, N.C., is staffed
by three licensed attorneys. They are available
to provide students with assistance in understanding
the factors that should be considered when one seeks
legal advice, to determine if a lawyer's services
are or are not necessary, and to provide appropriate
representation and/or referral. Staff can explain
dispute resolution options such as mediation and
arbitration, depending on the student’s situation.
It
is our policy at Carolina Student Legal Services
that we cannot represent students who have a problem
with the University, fellow students or state agencies.
This means that we are unable to answer any questions
relating to the problem. In some instances students
may have a common problem which they would like
to resolve yet there is a potential conflict because
one student might have a basis for claims against
the other. We are willing to advise these students
if all parties sign a waiver acknowledging that
there may be a conflict present and they state they
understand and waive the right to take action against
the other. This does not include criminal charges
where the victim and the defendant are both students.
While
actual in-court representation of students is limited,
the attorneys may pursue your rights in court on
any landlord/tenant problem and minor (under $10,000.00)
consumer and property damage claims. In addition,
the attorneys may undertake expungement and uncontested
divorce proceedings on behalf of students. The attorneys
may not advise on any matter or other dispute that
would violate the attorney's duties pursuant to
the Code of Professional Responsibility. If you
have paid your student activity fees, this legal
service is available to you at no additional costs.
You may call #962-1303 or come by the Student Legal
Services office at Suite 222, Carolina Union between
8:30 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. Monday through Friday, any
class day or exam day.
