Today we are going to give a couple of advice to the people, who, probably, are in dire need of it. We are going to talk about students and about legal services for them. Are legal services available for the students? Well, the answer is, probably, negative in the majority of cases. Unfortunately, the majority of students cannot really afford to have regular legal services, and that's why we talk about student legal services. Hence, in cases of need they have to use legal aid. For instance, a student has one of college loans and there's a dispute about this loan or any conditions of it. But what is a legal aid? Let's give it a definition.

A legal aid is free legal advice or representation for a person who cannot afford it. A number of delivery models for legal aid have emerged. In a "staff attorney" model, lawyers are employed on salary solely to provide legal assistance to qualifying low-income clients, similar to staff doctors in a public hospital. In a "judicare" model, private lawyers and law firms are paid to handle cases from eligible clients alongside cases from fee-paying clients, much like doctors are paid to handle

 patients in the U.S. The "community legal clinic" model comprises non-profit clinics serving a particular community through a broad range of legal services (e.g. representation, education, law reform) and provided by both lawyers and non-lawyers, similar to community health clinics.
