the summer blues

Since this clinic depends largely on law student volunteers, we struggle through the summer months (June, July, August) when the vast majority of them become unavailable for various reasons.  3Ls go MIA studying for the bar.  Many 2Ls and 1Ls leave for internship outside LA.  This year, we seriously considered shutting down the clinic for the three months as a result.  No one wanted to see that happen, so we instead decided to, for the first time, limit the number of participants who are allowed to register for each month's clinic.  Anticipating between 6 and 8 volunteers, we set the limit  at 12.

This past clinic, held on June 11, 2011, we had a huge turnout of volunteers.  True, we had a big drop-off in the number of law school volunteers, but so many others stepped up.  So thank you!  As a result, we're increasing the registration limit for the month of July to 18--a 50% increase from June.  In August, depending on how July turns out, we may increase it to 27--another 50% increase! (Maybe...)
