Furthermore, the intern I met with did not take the time to listen to my answers to the questions he asked. Multiple times I watched him write down answers to questions and write things opposite to or misrepresenting what I had just said to him. And I wasn't really able to ask the questions I had because we were only supposed to go through a pre-approved list from his attorney adviser.
All in all, the only thing going to SLS did for me was prolong how long I have had to deal with my issue without resolution and therefore made it harder to find any solution. Don't waste your time unless it's a clear cut case with flaw-proof evidence and no other students involved.
They knew what they were doing and helped out with every aspect of my case.
My issue has been completely resolved.
The legal intern who worked with me (Siyu) is great to talk to and very professional.
The best part is that it’s free!
(legal service is included in the activity fee)
Overall I would recommend SLS for any legal matter.
The supervisor attorney could be right about the case, but I did not feel that I was convinced based on good examples and understanding.
In summary, you may have either really good service or bad one, depending on who the attorney supervisor is for your legal intern. It is my experience. However, I cannot deny that the Student Legal Service is a precious asset for students at Indiana University. Just...I recommend the legal office better care about how the attorney supervisors deliver the service. Maybe, they can let clients evaluate the attorneys for the better service quality in the middle or the end of the service.
PS: I hope my one experience does not discredit the other good lawyer supervisors' and interns' work. In two of the three cases, I met good people there.
That being said, it is a free service and many of my friends who have had cases with them have expressed disappointment and even anger at how things were handled.
