New Hampshire Law Students Take On RIAA 173
NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "We have recently learned that another law school legal aid clinic has joined the fight against the RIAA. Student attorneys from the Consumer and Commercial Law Clinic
of the Franklin Pierce Law Center in Concord, New Hampshire, working under law school faculty supervision, are representing
a lady targeted by the RIAA in UMG Recording v. Roy in New Hampshire. The case is scheduled for trial next Fall. That makes at least 4 law schools providing anti-RIAA defense services: University of Maine,
University of San Francisco, Franklin Pierce, and, most recently, Harvard. Hopefully many
more will follow. One commentator theorizes that this news 'will ... [encourage] professors and students at other law schools to take on hitherto defenseless people being pilloried by the corporate music industry.'"

*Student attorneys are law students working under the supervision of law school faculty members.
We should all stand up and thank the lawyers of the RIAA and MPAA for providing their wonderful volunteer work to train the lawyers of tomorrow.

..And they better hurry since that show ("Boston Legal") is in it its final, truncated, season.
It was already covered in The Paper Chase...oh wait, I'm giving away my age again.
That bogus "deadline" is a canard! Besides the Paper Chase, "Boston Legal" was also preceded by "L.A. Law", and probably others too numerous to remember; they can *always* make a sequel.
