Sent 1: MALS was formed here more than 30 years ago.
Sent 2: Today, 14 staff attorneys, 26 office workers and 21 University of Memphis third- year law students work out of rented offices in the old Claridge Hotel building at 109 N. Main.
Sent 3: Offices are spartan.
Sent 4: There are no lush rugs or stylish furniture.
Sent 5: The large table in the conference room is simple varnished wood.
Sent 6: Offices are small and mostly plain, except for the eclectic mix of pop art, African statuary and neon that adorns litigation director Webb Brewer's space.
Sent 7: Brewer, who has been at the agency 20 years, said there is a need for lawyers of all stripes to help with the problems of the poor.
Sent 8: "The private bar could meet more of the need through pro bono work, but there are still cases that involve the systemic problems for low-income people that we would need to do," said Brewer.
Sent 9: "The legal system marketplace just doesn't serve low-income people too well, except in fee-generat-ing type cases," Brewer said.
Sent 10: "If a poor person gets run over by a bus, an attorney might take that case because they might be able to recover part of the damage award as attorney fees.
Sent 11: But so many of the cases we handle have to do with basic rights and a decent life.
Sent 12: There is just no profit motive."
Sent 13: Larry Pivnick, law professor at the University of Memphis Law School and director of political programs at MALS, said Legal Services is a great learning laboratory for law students.
Sent 14: "There are thousands and thousands of people who have problems that never get an opportunity to appear in court," Pivnick said.
Sent 15: "Some people may not be particularly articulate.
Sent 16: Courts have rules that clients don't always understand."
Sent 17: Brewer said a major focus of the agency's work involves housing.
Sent 18: "Although a lot of our work is grant-driven, we find that the lack of safe and decent affordable housing and the prevalence of predatory lending are the biggest problems in our client population," Brewer said, referring to clients such as James.
