Legal Clinic at Franklin Pierce Law Center in New Hampshire representing RIAA defendant in UMG Recordings v. Roy

By Ty Rogers and Ray Beckerman

We have recently learned that student attorneys* at the Consumer and Commercial Law Clinic of the Franklin Pierce Law Center in Concord, New Hampshire, have joined the fight against the RIAA, and have been defending a person targeted by the RIAA in New Hampshire, in UMG Recordings v. Roy.

The case is scheduled for trial in the Fall of 2009.

*Student attorneys are law students working under the supervision of law school faculty members.

[Ed. note. That makes at least four (4) law school clinical programs, of which we are aware, providing legal assistance to people targeted by the RIAA: the University of San Francisco School of Law, the University of Maine Law School, Franklin Pierce Law Center, and most recently Harvard University Law School. Hopefully many more will follow. -R.B.]
