Using law students to represent you in court?
We have contacted SMU Law department in Dallas to help represent our 19 year old son with his DWI. They are law students that are supervised by their law professors. We cannot afford an attorney for him. Do you think they will be able to help him? Has anyone used this type of law service before?
Well, if you cannot afford an attorney, then your choices are either these SMU students, or a public defender.
The disadvantage of public defenders is that they typically have huge caseloads. They are probably juggling 200+ cases at any one time. A PD will spend very little time concentrating on a DWI misdemeanor. The SMU students, on the other hand, will likely have more time to take a thorough look at your son’s case.
Realistically, though, DWI’s are almost impossible to defend. Absent a procedural error or 4th Amendment issue, a DWI suspect is almost never exonerated. In all honesty, it really doesn’t matter who your son’s attorney is.
