Some good news about the South Asian Legal Aid Clinic… apparently they are getting funding. Yay. 1
The bad news? When the Attorney General’s correspondence office gets an email, they obviously 1. write a letter back using a word processing program, 2. send it somewhere to get revised / approved 3. print out the letter 4. get the AG to put his extremely jazzy signature on it 5. scan it, then 6. email the resulting file.
Um, guys? You could just skip all the middle steps and email me back?2 And for this I don’t even charge consulting fees!
1 does this mean the legal aid system works? No, it does not. But it is good news for some people who need legal advice!
2 I know I’m expecting too much, but seriously… all this over an email? The whole reason we like emails is because they are easy, tree free and don’t take two months to respond to, like this one did.
