Dude, theyre not a cult, they don't accept government money because if they do then they can't organize class actions against the government (conflict of interest clearly). I volunteered there in Brooklyn once. I showed up, they read us some stuff about poverty in America and then a lawyer came in to give free legal advice to people off the street. I sat in on every session and they were all basic legal advice to poor people who couldn't afford to find out what to do next. Parking tickets, domestic violence, landlord/tenant law and a few other basic issues were discussed in private with the volunteering attorney. Then he left, and everyone went home. Hardly a cult. Yes they call too often, yes theyre annoying. They call me to this day, but instead of crying about it I just don't pick up. They do this full time, their entire lives are devoted to getting as many volunteers as possible, so they call until theyre annoying. But just don't pick up. You're not so important that you can't be bothered to look at your phone and not pick up and place it back into your pocket. If you read these posts it sounds like a bunch of 5 year old girls whining. Lets just put it this way, its a good thing you guys chose law school and not the army. "Wah! they gave me a sales pitch" Shut up and grow some.
