Right.  Free legal advice tends to be a Public Defender or pro bono
charity work by a law firm (or sometimes a nonprofit organization
dedicated to pro bono law work, but I bet their lawyers have day jobs
too).

Actually, that's pretty true.  One bit of advice given (by someone
trained in legal knowledge but not a lawyer so it's ok) was to contest
traffic tickets.  Most people don't bother going before a magistrate and
more likely than not the officer who wrote your ticket will be too
busy.  
This is also why there are organizations that end up defending their
rights with guns instead of lawyers.

Hmm, TOSG.  At least we got back to UA.

Now I can't wait for the TOSG book.  Gotta know their take on the legal
system combined with the OU.
