Free legal advice
open to students
■ Many students are
unaware that legal advice on
many issues is available to
them and is free of charge
By Simone Ripke
Oregon Daily Emerald
If legalese is not part of your
foreign language repertoire,
ASUO Legal Services can help
you make your case.
University students who pay
incidental fees are eligible for free
legal assistance as long as the ad
verse party is not another Univer
sity student, faculty or staff.
Ilona Koleszar, one of the two
staff attorneys at Legal Services,
said landlord-tenant disputes,
family law issues and misde
meanor criminal charges are the
three most common issues stu
dents seek legal assistance for.
Koleszar said her clients’ needs
range from a quick question that
often lacks a quick answer to ad
vice and representation in longer
lasting cases. Many cases are re
solved through negotiations and
only a few go to trial.
“There are usually a number of
negotiation options that typically
result in the resolution of the
case,” Koleszar said. She said she
avoids going to court as much as
possible as it is costly and time
consuming and neither fits stu
dents schedules or budgets.
In cases where the adverse par
ty is another University entity, Le
gal Services refers students to
Conflict Resolution Services,
lawyers in the community or Le
gal Aid Service of Lane County.
Legal Services is funded by inci
dental fees and a minor amount of
fund-raising.
Koleszar said she enjoys work
ing for students and their wide
ranging needs.
“Students are a great group to
work for,” she said. “Every day is
new and exciting.”
Koleszar feels that the public
has a misconception about who
students are and what kind of fi
nancial resources they have at
their disposal. She considers
some of the fines coming from
students pockets into those of the
courts too high.
Koleszar said students are ener
getic and willing to do some of
their own “leg work” when it
comes to researching their cases.
Two law clerks, an assistant di
rector and four work study secre
taries currently support the two
staff attorneys at Legal Services by
doing administrative work and le
gal research.
Koleszar said approximately
1,200 students take advantage of
Legal Services every year.
Linda Miller, assistant director
at Legal Services, said students
have a different outlook on many
issues. Miller said the motto at Le
gal Services is “We fight long and
hard for 10 bucks.” She said the
staff at Legal Services know that
$10 can be a lot of money to a stu
dent.
ASUO President Wylie Chen
said students are often taken ad
vantage of, especially when it
comes to landlord-tenant issues
in a university neighborhood. He
said Legal Services is an impor
tant voice for University students.
“It is crucial that we have some
way to protect students,” Chen
said.
Stayner finally charged
in Yosemite sightseers case
MARIPOSA, Calif. — A motel handyman who investigators say con
fessed to killing three Yosemite National Park sightseers in February
was charged Wednesday with their murders.
Cary Stayner, 38, was charged with three counts of murder that could
bring the death penalty.
Investigators said Stayner confessed in late July to killing Carole
Sund, 42, her daughter Juli Sund, 15, and their Argentine friend Silv
ina Pelosso, 16, while the three were visiting the park in February.
He also allegedly confessed to beheading Joie Ruth Armstrong, a 26
year-old Yosemite naturalist, on July 21.
The Sunds and Pelosso were last seen alive at the Cedar Lodge motel
where Stayner worked. Stayner was also charged with burglary, rob
bery, forcible oral copulation and attempted rape.
Stayner was arrested at a nudist camp two days after Armstrong’s
slaying and was later charged with her murder.
