Can the program be limited to university students only? (The local bar does not have the resources to maintain a community-wide referral service.)
2. The program will be operated with little or no expense to the county bar association (because the university will actually operate the system). The plan is to charge $15.00 for a student to consult with an attorney. This fee is primarily to help eliminate unnecessary or frivolous requests for consultation. Is it ethical to charge a fee of this type? The amount will be determined from time to time by a vote of the members of the county bar association.
3. Is it ethical for a member of the county bar association who is participating in the program to be retained by a referred student?
