Just googled this organization and your blog came up. As you noted, no website is an odd portend in this day and age. They accosted me on my way out of the Brooklyn Law School building, and though I don't like being petitioned on the sidewalk, I stopped for a minute because I basically agree with the pitch - as you say - that most americans have no access to the legal system. But what struck me as off was that they didn't just want my email and address, but they wanted my phone number. And I only have a cell phone these days - so giving out my number is real access to me. I told them that I'd have to look into it (meaning that I'd check their website when I got home). The woman said something like - 'you can look into it by volunteering.'
Like you said - too much too soon. Something cultish indeed. Too bad, too.
