"There's a host of other things from A to Z that include con sumer complaints and contract breai lies.*' she said Koleszar said the office also executes ex pungements, which is the legal sealing of a criminal record. She is precluded by law from defending students involved in felony charges She dorrs not handle business law. or any profit-oriented case, such as business incorporation or tax preparation. She also cannot handle student student con flicts or student/University conflicts The office is restricted not on ly by law as to what can and (annot In' done, but also by time commitments. If she is presented with a case that will take up too much time, such as a complicated child custody suit. Koleszar will not accept it. saying it would keep her from serving other students who use the office "It’s beyond the st.oj>e of what's fair under the cir cumstances." koles/ar said "What I perceive as the purpose of this office... is to take care of low-income students' daily, regular legal problems ..to keep their lives as free from legal problems as possible " koleszar currently is working on about 50 c ases She sc«es about five clients a day. l-asl year, the program saw 1.675 clients, Oregon State and Southern Oregon College both have legal services, and both have the same legal dictations the University program faces In addition to her individual Pmrto by Shu-Shinn Chrn Ilona koles/.ar. the new University Legal Services attorney, maintains a demanding schedule. cases, the la>gal Services at torney also serves as a legal ad visor to the ASUO president. ASUO President Kasey Brooks said she has been pleased with koleszar's transition to the new job. Brooks continued to say along with la»gal .Services, the ASIJO Student Advocate and the University Mediation Program, that "The University of Oregon has among the finest student services of any school in the nation." The Legal Services office is not a one-woman show In addi tion to koleszar. the office has a receptionist, a legal assistant and three law clerks. Despite the heavy workload. Koleszar said she believes students are !>eing better served this year. This is the first year the attorney position has been funded for 40 hours a week. Un til this year, it was a 20-hour position. She said the first thing she did when she got the job was to increase the appointment time from 15 minutes to 30 minutes to keep students from feeling rushed. Because the position is now full-time, she believes she has the workload under control. "I'm trying to make sure that people aren't waiting too long to see me,” she said. However, the office still is generally book ed a week in advance. koleszar has had the job only four months; however, she said she experienced few suprises when she moved into her office on the third floor of the EMU. Koleszar studied the office records, so she knew about the heavy caseload and about what types of cases she would be dealing with. Moreover, she had dealt with a number of stu dent cases at a private practice she had in Springfield. However, she admits to one surprise: she wasn't preared to b e working in a large bureaucracy such as the Univer sity system. "The only thing that kind of took mt* for a loop is master ing the art of institutional think ing," she admitted. She added that filling out the plethora of forms it takes to get something fixed is sometimes aggravating, compared to simply phoning a repairperson, as she did at her private practice. "Hut when 1 sit down and think about (such instances). I'm always able to laugh." she said The Legal Services office is located in the EMU Room 334, extension 4273.
