Another thing is we didn't offer legal advice. Some legal aid offices have a more litigation oriented approach, so the attorney will actually deal with clients. We didn't really do that, but if we had, I would not have had the discretion to give my two cents on whether a litigant should do one thing or another. I simply laid out the options. At most, some interns toed the line by stating what they had seen judges do in cases where litigants had taken one approach or another.
