What is BC Shelter Legal?
===================
We're a campus extension of Shelter Legal Services Foundation (SLSF),
Inc., which is a non-profit organization that provides free legal
services to people via several clinics in Cambridge and Boston.

Through SLSF, law students from day one of their first year can meet
clients, do intake interviews, and manage their own cases under the
supervision of an attorney. Cases involve issues from immigration to
housing to divorce and more. It's common in your first year to have
at least one case that goes to court or an administrative hearing.
